Shloka 33
Āloka-dāna (Dīpa-dāna), Sumanas–Dhūpa–Dīpa Phala: Manu–Suvarṇa and Śukra–Bali Exempla
न तु श्मशानसम्भूता देवतायतनोद्भवा: । संनयेत् पुष्टियुक्तेषु विवाहेषु रह:सु च,श्मशान तथा जीर्ण-शीर्ण देवालयोंमें पैदा हुए फूलोंका पौष्टिक कर्म, विवाह तथा एकान्त विहारमें उपयोग नहीं करना चाहिये
na tu śmaśānasambhūtā devatāyatanodbhavāḥ | sannayet puṣṭiyukteṣu vivāheṣu rahaḥsu ca ||
シュクラは言った。「火葬地に生じた花、また神の社殿の境内に自ずと咲いた花は、滋養と吉祥の増益を求める行い――力を増す儀礼、婚礼、あるいは密やかな愛の歓び――に用いてはならぬ。たとえ花のように美しいものでも、その由来と場に応じて清浄の規矩がある。死の地に結びつくもの、また聖域として留め置かれたものを、世俗の快楽や繁栄を求める場へ転用してはならない。」

Educational Q&A
Do not repurpose items associated with inauspicious places (cremation-grounds) or reserved sacred precincts (temples) for prosperity-seeking, celebratory, or sensual contexts; dharma includes attention to the source and appropriateness of ritual materials.
In Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on conduct and ritual propriety, Śukra lays down a rule about what kinds of flowers (by origin) are unsuitable for auspicious rites like weddings and for private pleasure, emphasizing contextual purity and proper boundaries between sacred, funerary, and worldly uses.
