32.24

patitairmalinaiścaiva na puṣṇāti pitāmahān /
varjanīyaṃ tathā śrāddhe tathodakyāśca darśanam //

What has been touched by a corpse or by a recently-delivered woman,[30] and by those who have been long ill, by outcastes, and by filthy persons, does not nourish the pitṛs.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa

And the celebrant must moreover avoid the sight of a woman who is in her courses; and he must shun sitting together with baldpated men and drunken men at a śrāddha, out of respect.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
