This is the final Shloka aimed at the Acharyas and their wives. The wives should stay aloof of men who are not closely related to them (Pasa Sambandhi). They should not even show their faces to males who are not closely related to them. Shatanand explains that this directive is to protect her Dharma. Manusmruti explains, 'A women, even though a Pativrata (devoted to her husband) or endowed with righteous qualities can degrade in the company of men.' Having discussed this Shloka with saints, it is also the case that if a woman's looks or actions cause a man to develop lustful tendencies then the woman can be held to blame to some degree and therefore the directive of not showing her face to other men is also to save primarily the Acharya-Patni from downfall, but also to prevent men from such tendencies. The Acharya-Patni here is an example to us all, showing the strict segregation laws that apply in our Sampraday. Special Dharmas of Grihastas (Householders) - (135-156)
