Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 63
न दिवोद्धृतसारं च भक्षयेद्दधि नो निशि । स्त्रीधर्मिणी नाभिवदेन्नाद्यादातृप्ति रात्रिषु
na divoddhṛtasāraṃ ca bhakṣayeddadhi no niśi | strīdharmiṇī nābhivadennādyādātṛpti rātriṣu
ಹಗಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮೇಲ್ಸಾರ ತೆಗೆದ ಮೊಸರನ್ನು ಭಕ್ಷಿಸಬಾರದು; ರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಮೊಸರು ಸೇವಿಸಬಾರದು. ರಜಸ್ವಲೆಯಾದ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು; ರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅತಿತೃಪ್ತಿಯವರೆಗೆ ಊಟ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು.
Sūta (deduced: Brāhma Khaṇḍa didactic narration in Dharmāraṇya context)
Scene: A disciplined householder-pilgrim at dusk declines curd and takes a modest night meal; a quiet domestic shrine in the background; a woman observing rajasvalā-seclusion sits apart in calm dignity; lamps lit, atmosphere of restraint.
