न क्षिप्तपादजङ्घश्च प्राज्ञस्तिष्ठेत् कदाचन ॥
tailābhyaṅgaṃ tathā bhogaṃ yoṣitaś ca vivarjayet |
na kṣipta-pāda-jaṅghaś ca prājñas tiṣṭhet kadācana ||
तेल‑मालिश, भोग‑विलास और स्त्रियों के साथ अनुचित संग से बचना चाहिए। बुद्धिमान व्यक्ति को कभी भी टाँगें‑पाँव फैलाकर (असंयत मुद्रा में) खड़ा नहीं होना चाहिए।
