is also explained as a restrictive injunction. And [otherwise] "He should not eat in between" would be redundant under an exclusionary injunction. And thus, when there is a restrictive injunction, the distributive sense "in every season" is obtained, based on the principle: "Upon the repetition of the occasion, that which depends on the occasion also recurs." The statement "He may act according to desire" is also merely a restrictive injunction: when there is desire in the woman even outside the season, he must indeed bring pleasure to the woman. As for "He should approach in the season, or everywhere except on forbidden days" (GDh 5.1–2)—this pair of Gautama's sūtras is also intended solely as a restrictive injunction: he must approach during the season, and even outside the season when there is desire in the woman, he must approach except on forbidden days. Enough of digression. || 1.81
