Adhyaya 35 — Madālasa’s Instruction on Purity, Impurity, and Corrective Rites (Śauca and Aśauca)
तत्कर्तव्यमशङ्केन यन्न गोप्यं महाजने ।
एवमाचरतो वत्स ! पुरुषस्य गृहे सतः ।
धर्मार्थकामसम्प्राप्त्या परत्रेह च शोभनम् ॥
tat kartavyam aśaṅkena yan na gopyaṃ mahājane /
evam ācarato vatsa ! puruṣasya gṛhe sataḥ /
dharmārthakāmasaṃprāptyā paratreha ca śobhanam
जे कर्म लोकांपासून लपवावे लागणार नाही, ते निःसंकोच करावे. असे करणाऱ्या गृहस्थ पुरुषाला धर्म, अर्थ व काम यांची सिद्धी इहलोकी व परलोकी शुभ व मान्य फल देते, प्रिय बाळा।
