Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
कुर्वतामविनीतानां न श्रोतव्यं कथञ्चन ।
नोत्कृष्टशय्यासनयोर्नापकृष्टस्य चारुहेत् ॥
kurvatām avinītānāṃ na śrotavyaṃ kathañcana / notkṛṣṭaśayyāsanayoḥ nāpakṛṣṭasya cāruhet
ಅವಿನೀತರ ಮಾತನ್ನು ಯಾವ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲೂ ಕೇಳಬಾರದು. ಅತಿಯಾಗಿ ಉನ್ನತವಾದ ಶಯ್ಯೆ ಅಥವಾ ಆಸನವನ್ನು ಬಳಸಬಾರದು; ತನ್ನಿಗಿಂತ ಕೀಳಾದವರದ್ದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಏರಬಾರದು, ಕಾಲಿಡಬಾರದು।
