Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
यादृशं पुरुषस्येह परदाराभिमर्षणम् ।
देवार्चनाग्निकार्याणां तथा गुर्वभिवादनम् ॥
yādṛśaṃ puruṣasyeha paradārābhimarṣaṇam | devārcanāgnikāryāṇāṃ tathā gurvabhivādanam ||
येथे जो पुरुष परस्त्रीगमन करतो त्याला महान् दोष व पतन प्राप्त होते; तसेच जो देवपूजा, अग्निहोत्रादि कर्मे आणि गुरु‑वृद्धांना नमस्कार करणे दुर्लक्ष करतो, त्यालाही तोच दोष लागतो।

The verse links private conduct (kāma) with sacrificial order (yajña) and transmission of wisdom (guru); breaking any pillar destabilizes one’s inner and outer ‘ṛta’.
