Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
प्रत्यवायभयात् काम्यस्तथान्यश्चाविरोधवान् ।
द्विधा कामोऽपि गदितस्त्रिवर्गस्याविरोधतः ॥
pratyavāyabhayāt kāmyas tathānyaś cāvirodhavān | dvidhā kāmo 'pi gaditas trivargasyāvirodhataḥ ||
Ang kāmya (udyok ng pagnanasa) ay isinasagawa dahil sa takot sa masamang bunga (pratyavāya), at ang isa pang uri ay yaong hindi sumasalungat sa dharma. Kaya ang kāma rin ay sinasabing may dalawang anyo, sa paraang hindi laban sa tatlong layunin ng buhay.

Desire is not simply condemned; it is to be structured so it does not collide with dharma and artha. Even ‘kāmya’ actions are evaluated by whether they create pratyavāya or remain ethically non-conflicting.
Ethical/doctrinal classification; not pañcalakṣaṇa.
The passage implies an inner discernment: desire can be refined into a harmonizing force when subordinated to order (ṛta/dharma), rather than becoming a disruptive compulsion.
