Markandeya Purana — Adhyaya 34, Shloka 45
Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
न चापि विक्षिपेत् पादौ पादं पादेन नाक्रमेत् ।
मर्माभिघातमाक्रोशं पैशुन्यञ्च विवर्जयेत् ॥
na cāpi vikṣipet pādau pādaṃ pādena nākramet |
marmābhighātam ākrośaṃ paiśunyañ ca vivarjayet ||
Không nên đung đưa hay vung vẩy chân, cũng không nên gác chân lên nhau một cách bất kính. Hãy tránh đánh vào chỗ hiểm, la hét chửi rủa, và việc mách lẻo ác ý.

FAQs
