Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
इष्टापूर्तायुषां हन्त्री परदारगतिर् नृणाम् ।
न हीदृशमनायुष्यं लोके किञ्चन विद्यते ॥
iṣṭāpūrtāyuṣāṃ hantrī paradāragatir nṛṇām | na hīdṛśam anāyuṣyaṃ loke kiñcana vidyate ||
Para os homens, ir à esposa de outrem destrói o mérito dos sacrifícios e das obras piedosas, e também destrói a duração da vida. Neste mundo nada há tão nocivo à longevidade.
