kaṇḍanī peṣaṇī cullī udakumbhī ca mārjanī |
pañca-sūnā gṛhasthasya tābhiḥ svargaṁ na vindati ||
(Viṣṇu Smṛti: 59.19-20; cited in the Subodhinī and Sārārtha-varṣiṇī-ṭīkās on Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītiā: 3.13)
“The mortar, the grinding stone, the hearth, the waterpot, and the broom—the householder does not reach Svarga because of these [i.e., because of the acts of violence committed through the use of these five intruments].”
