Dialogue of Wisdom, Meditation, and Discernment
यत्र लोकाः स्त्रियो वृद्धा युवत्यो मातरस्तथा । एतासां हि गतो मध्ये न बिभेषि अनावृतः
yatra lokāḥ striyo vṛddhā yuvatyo mātarastathā | etāsāṃ hi gato madhye na bibheṣi anāvṛtaḥ
Di tempat yang ada orang—para wanita, orang tua, gadis muda, juga para ibu—engkau masuk ke tengah-tengah mereka namun tidak takut, walaupun tanpa penutup.

Concept: True protection is inner—fearlessness arises from integrity and self-restraint, not from external coverings.
Application: Cultivate inner discipline (speech, gaze, intention) so that public situations do not provoke anxiety, shame, or predatory impulses; let conduct be the 'garment.'
