Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
न चामङ्गल्यवेषः स्यान्न चामङ्गल्यवाग्भवेत् ।
धवलाम्बरसंवीतः सितपुष्पविभूषितः ॥
na cāmaṅgalyaveśaḥ syān na cāmaṅgalyavāg bhavet / dhavalāmbharasaṃvītaḥ sitapuṣpavibhūṣitaḥ
不可穿戴不祥之衣,亦不可说不祥之语。应身着白衣,并以白花为饰。

Auspiciousness is cultivated through both outer presentation and inner speech; the text treats words and symbols as shaping one’s moral atmosphere.
Ancillary conduct teaching (ācāra).
White attire/flowers signify sattva and clarity; ‘inauspicious speech’ points to the subtle impurity of harshness, falsehood, and negativity.
