Shloka 31
Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
न च पश्येद्रवीं नेन्दुं न नक्षत्राणि कामतः ।
भिन्नासनं तथा शय्यां भाजनञ्च विवर्जयेत् ॥
na ca paśyed ravīṃ nenduṃ na nakṣatrāṇi kāmataḥ | bhinnāsanaṃ tathā śayyāṃ bhājanaṃ ca vivarjayet ||
வெறும் மனவிருப்பத்தால் சூரியன், சந்திரன், நட்சத்திரங்களை நோக்கிக் கண்ணோட்டம் செய்யக் கூடாது. உடைந்த இருக்கை, உடைந்த படுக்கை, சேதமடைந்த பாத்திரம் ஆகியவற்றையும் தவிர்க்க வேண்டும்.
