Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
उच्छिष्टो नालपेत् किञ्चित् स्वाध्यायञ्च विवर्जयेत् ।
गां ब्राह्मणं तथा चाग्निं स्वमूर्धानञ्च न स्पृशेत् ॥
ucchiṣṭo nālapet kiñcit svādhyāyaṃ ca vivarjayet | gāṃ brāhmaṇaṃ tathā cāgniṃ sva-mūrdhānaṃ ca na spṛśet ||
उच्छिष्ट अवस्थेत काहीही बोलू नये आणि वेदाध्ययनही वर्ज्य करावे. गाय, ब्राह्मण, अग्नी तसेच स्वतःचे शिर स्पर्श करू नये.
