Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
न च पश्येद्रवीं नेन्दुं न नक्षत्राणि कामतः ।
भिन्नासनं तथा शय्यां भाजनञ्च विवर्जयेत् ॥
na ca paśyed ravīṃ nenduṃ na nakṣatrāṇi kāmataḥ | bhinnāsanaṃ tathā śayyāṃ bhājanaṃ ca vivarjayet ||
শুধু কৌতূহলবশে সূর্য, চন্দ্র ও নক্ষত্রের দিকে তাকাবে না। ভাঙা আসন, ভাঙা শয্যা এবং ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত পাত্রও বর্জন করবে।
