She should eat only once a day (except for days of Upavaas when she should observe a full day fast). She should never sleep on a raised platform, but should sleep on the floor. She should also never look at animals in the act of coition, as it will immediately cause turmoil in the mind, weakening it and thus destroying their Brahmcharya Vrata. Shaubhari Rishi saw two fishes in such act and immediately faced degradation.
