A sinful son causes a person’s reputation to vanish. His irreligious activities at home cause irreligion and quarrel among everyone, and this creates only endless anxiety.

Translation
Because of a bad son, sinful reputation and great irreligion arise. From a bad son arises quarrel among everyone. From a bad son arises endless anxiety.
Personal Guidance
A sinful son destroys reputation, brings irreligion and quarrel home, and creates endless anxiety. Some relationships drain more than they give; clear-eyed accounting is part of dharma.
Reflection Questions
- Which relationship in my life consistently brings irreligion or anxiety, and what do I do with that data?
- Where do I refuse to name a draining dynamic because I'm supposed to love the person?
