Shloka : 134

स्वासन्नसम्बन्धहीना नरास्ताभ्यां तु कर्हिचित् ।

न स्प्रष्टव्या न भाष्याश्च तेभ्यो दर्श्यं मुखं न च ॥ 134 ॥

અને વળી તે બે જણની પત્નીઓ તેમણે, પોતાના સમીપસંબંધ વિનાના જે પુરુષ તેમનો સ્પર્શ ક્યારેય ન કરવો, અને તેમની સાથે બોલવું નહિ અને તેમને પોતાનું મુખ પણ ન દેખાડવું (એવી રીતે ધર્મવંશી આચાર્ય અને તેમની પત્નીઓ તેમના જે વિશેષ ધર્મ તે કહ્યા.) ॥ 134 ॥

And moreover, the respective wives of these Acharyas, should not touch a man who is not a close relative and should not talk with him and should not show him her face. (Such are the specific code of conduct for a Dharmavanshi Acharya and his wife). || 134 ||

Commentary

Moreover, the respective wives of the Acharyas should not touch the men knowingly who are not their close relatives and should not talk to them as well as should not show them their faces. They should cover their faces in front of them. This is appropriate for the wife of an Acharya. Otherwise, there is a possibility of getting distracted from her path of religion through contact of the men who are visiting to (offer) pay their respect. This is the purpose of such instruction. And the other ladies of Dharmakul also should not touch a man or talk to him.
