She should not use abusive language towards him, but rebuke him with conciliatory words, whether he be in the company of friends or alone. Moreover, she should not be a scold, for says Gonardiya “there is no cause of dislike on the part of a husband so great as this characteristic in a wife.” Lastly she should avoid bad expressions, sulky looks, speaking aside, standing in the doorway, and looking at passers-by, conversing in pleasure groves, and remaining in a lonely place for a long time; and finally she should always keep her body, her teeth, her hair, and everything belonging to her tidy, sweet, and clean. > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 4.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.4.1.21) - [Next: 4.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.4.1.23) - [Up: 4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.4.1) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.4.1.p5) — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Jayamaṅgalā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana!jayamangala.25.22) — Yaśodhara Indrapada, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Text edited by Jean Fezas (with notes)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana*fezas.4.1.22) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.4.1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.4.1.22) · Pramāṇa
