Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
नग्नां परस्त्रियां नेक्षेन्न पश्येदात्मनः सकृत् ।
उदक्यादर्शनं स्पर्शो वर्ज्यं सम्भाषणं तथा ॥
nagnāṃ parastriyaṃ nekṣenna paśyedātmanaḥ sakṛt |
udakyā darśanaṃ sparśo varjyaṃ sambhāṣaṇaṃ tathā ||
کسی دوسرے کی عورت کو برہنہ حالت میں نہ دیکھے، اور اپنی برہنگی کو بھی نہ دیکھے۔ حیض والی عورت کو دیکھنے، چھونے اور اس سے گفتگو کرنے سے بھی پرہیز کرے۔
