न विप्रपादोदककर्दमाणि न वेदशास्त्रध्वनिगर्जितानि । स्वाहास्वधाकारविवर्जितानि श्मशानतुल्यानि गृहाणि तानि ॥

The house in which the lotus feet of brahmanas are not washed, in which Vedic mantras are not loudly recited, and in which the holy rites of svaha (sacrificial offerings to the Supreme Lord) and swadha (offerings to the ancestors) are not performed, is like a crematorium
