Vipula’s Yogic Protection of the Guru’s Household (विपुलस्य योगरक्षा / Vipulasya Yogarakṣā)
Devanagari script
यदि पुंसां गतिर्ब्रह्मन् कथंचिन्नोपपद्यते | अप्यन्योन्यं प्रवर्तन्ते न हि तिष्ठिन्ति भर्तृषु
Translation
ข้าแต่พราหมณ์! หากด้วยเหตุใดก็ตามสตรีไม่อาจได้บุรุษ และสามีก็จากไกลไปแล้ว นางทั้งหลายย่อมหาทางกันเองและหันไปสู่การร่วมสังวาสต่อกัน มิได้ตั้งมั่นอยู่กับสามีเท่านั้น
