In his home, devoid of religiosity and lawful sense gratification, the family members and guests were never properly respected, even with words. He would not even allow sufficient gratification for his own body at the suitable times.

Translation
In his home, devoid of religiosity, the family members and guests were never properly respected, even with words. He would not even allow sufficient gratification for his own body at suitable times.
Śūnyāvasathe means in “household life without acts of dharma.”
