bhuñjīta puruṣaḥ snātaḥ sāyaṃ prātaryathāvidhi /
paradārā na gantavyāḥ puruṣeṇa vipaścitā //
“Hot when unbathed, nor when reposing, nor while thinking of other things, nor when sitting on his bed or on the earth, nor when making a sound,[10] nor when clad in a single garment, nor when speaking, nor without giving to spectators, but when bathed a man should eat evening and morning according to rule.
“A wise man should not resort to other men’s wives. Adultery destroys the religious acts and the life of man. Nothing indeed is so short-lived in the world, as a man’s intercourse with another’s wife here.
