mahabharataved-vyasanushasana-parva

Sanskrit Original

पुरीषमूत्रे नोदीक्षेन्नाधितिष्ठेत् कदाचन। नातिकल्यं नातिसायं न च मध्यन्दिने स्थिते॥ नाज्ञातैः सह गच्छेत नैको न वृषलैः सह। पन्था देयो ब्राह्मणाय गोभ्यो राजभ्य एव च॥ वृद्धाय भारतप्ताय गर्भिण्यै दुर्बलाय च। प्रदक्षिणं च कुर्वीत परिज्ञातान् वनस्पतीन्॥ चतुष्पथान् प्रकुर्वीत सर्वानेव प्रदक्षिणान्। मध्यन्दिने निशाकाले अर्धरात्रे च सर्वदा॥ चतुष्पथं न सेवेत उभे संध्ये तथैव च। उपानही च वस्त्रं च धृतमन्यैर्न धारयेत्॥
