Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
तथानुगमनं कुर्यात् प्रतिकूलं न संजयेत् ।
नैकवस्त्रश्च भुञ्जीत न कुर्याद्देवतार्चनम् ॥
tathānugamanaṃ kuryāt pratikūlaṃ na saṃjayet | naika-vastraś ca bhuñjīta na kuryād devatārcanam ||
ينبغي أن يُصاحَب الشيوخُ والمعلّمون بما يليق، وألا يضع المرءُ نفسه في معارضةٍ لهم. ولا ينبغي أن يأكل وهو لا يلبس إلا ثوبًا واحدًا، ولا أن يُقيم عبادةَ الآلهة في تلك الحال غير اللائقة.
