सच्छास्त्रादिविनोदेन सन्मार्गादविरोधिना । दिनं नयेत् ततस्सन्ध्यामुपतिष्ठेत् समाहितः
With wholesome scripture and similar recreation, and without deviating from the right path, one should pass the day, and then attend to the evening twilight with concentration.
दिनान्तसन्ध्यां सूर्येण पूर्वामृक्षैर्युतां बुधः । उपतिष्ठेद्यथान्याय्यं सम्यगाचम्य पार्थिव
At day's end, when the sun is with the eastern stars, one should, having properly rinsed the mouth, attend to the evening twilight as is appropriate, O king.
सर्वकालमुपस्थानं सन्ध्ययोः पार्थिवेष्यते । अन्यत्र सूतकाशौचविभ्रमातुरभीतितः ॥१०१। सूर्येणाभ्युदितो यश्च त्यक्तः सूर्येण वा स्वपन् । अन्यत्रातुरभावात्तु प्रायश्चित्ती भवेन्नरः
Attendance at both twilights is prescribed at all times for a king, except in cases of impurity due to birth or death, confusion, illness, or fear; if one, though healthy, neglects the twilight worship at sunrise or sunset, he must perform expiation.
तस्मादनुदिते सूर्ये समुत्थाय महीपते । उपतिष्ठेन्नरस्सन्ध्यामस्वपंश्च दिनान्तजाम्
Therefore, O king, one should rise before sunrise and attend to the morning twilight, and, if asleep at sunset, attend to the evening twilight upon waking.
उपतिष्ठन्ति वै सन्ध्यां ये न पूर्वां न पश्चिमाम् । व्रजन्ति ते दुरात्मानस्तमिस्रं नरकं नृप
Those who do not attend to either the morning or evening twilight, O king, are wicked and go to the dark hell.
पुनः पाकमुपादाय सायमप्यवनीपते । वैश्वदेवनिमित्तं वै पत्न्यमन्त्रं बलिं हरेत्
Again, having prepared the offering in the evening, O lord of the earth, one should present the bali offering with the wife’s mantra, for the sake of the deities called Vaiśvadevas.
तत्रापि श्वपचादिभ्यस्तथैवान्नविसर्जनम्
There too, food should be given in the same way to outcastes and others.
अतिथिं चागतं तत्र स्वशक्तया पूजयेद्बुधः । पादशौचासनप्रह्वस्वागतोक्त्या च पूजनम् । ततश्चान्नप्रदानेन शयनेन च पार्थिव
If a guest arrives at that time, the wise should honor him according to their ability, with foot-washing, a seat, respectful greeting, and then by giving food and a bed, O king.
दिवातिथौ तु विमुखे गते यत्पातकं नृप । तदेवाष्टगुणं पुंसस्सूर्योढे विमुखे गते
If a guest departs during the day without being received, O king, the sin incurred is eightfold when the guest departs at sunset without being received.
तस्मात् स्वशक्त्या राजेन्द्र सूर्योढमतिथिं नरः । पूजयेत् पूजिते तस्मिन् पूजितास्सर्वदेवताः
Therefore, O king of kings, one should honor a guest at sunset according to one’s ability; when he is honored, all the deities are honored.
अन्नशाकाम्बुदानेन स्वशक्त्या पूजयेत् पुमान् । शयनप्रस्तरमहीप्रदानैरथवापि तम्
A man should honor him according to his ability with food, vegetables, and water, or with the gift of a bed, a mat, or even land.
कृतपादादिशौचस्तु भुक्त्वा सायं ततो गृही । गच्छेच्छय्यामस्फुटितामपि दारुमयीं नृप
Having cleansed the feet and so on, and having eaten in the evening, the householder should go to bed, even if it is a simple wooden one, O king.
नाविशालां न वै भुग्नां नासमां मलिनां न च । न च जन्तुमयीं शय्यामधितिष्ठेदनास्तृताम्
He should not lie on a bed that is too large, broken, uneven, dirty, made of living beings, or without bedding.
प्राच्यां दिशि शिरश्शस्तं याम्यायामथ वा नृप । सदैव स्वपतः पुंसो विपरीतं तु रोगदम्
It is best to sleep with the head to the east or south, O king; always sleeping otherwise brings disease.
ऋतावुपगमश्शस्तस्स्वपत्न्यामवनीपते । पुन्नामर्क्षे शुभे काले ज्येष्ठायुग्मासु रात्रिषु
Approaching one’s wife at the proper season is recommended, O lord of the earth, at an auspicious time under the male constellation, on nights when Jyeshtha and other paired stars are present.
नाद्यूनां तु स्त्रियं गच्छेन्नातुरां न रजस्वलाम् । नानिष्टां न प्रकुपितां न त्रस्तां न च गर्भिणीम्
One should not approach a woman who is too young, ill, menstruating, inauspicious, angry, frightened, or pregnant.
नादक्षिणां नान्यकामां नाकामां नान्ययोषितम् । क्षुत्क्षामां नातिभुक्तां वा स्वयं चैभिर्गुणैर्युतः
One should not approach a woman who is not one's wife, who is desired by another, who is unwilling, who is emaciated by hunger, who has eaten excessively, or who is endowed with these faults oneself.
स्नातस्स्रग्गन्धधृक् प्रीतो नाध्मातः क्षुधितोऽपि वा । सकामस्सानुरागश्च व्यवायं पुरुषो व्रजेत्
Having bathed, adorned with garlands and fragrance, pleased in mind, not bloated nor hungry, with desire and affection—thus should a man approach intercourse.
चतुर्दश्यष्टमी चैव तथामा चाथ पूर्णिमा । पर्वाण्येतानि राजेन्द्र रविसङ्क्रान्तिरेव च
The fourteenth day, the eighth day, the new moon, and the full moon—these are sacred occasions, O king, as is the sun's passage into a new sign.
तैलस्त्रीमांससम्भोगी सर्वेष्वेतेषु वै पुमान् । विण्मूत्रभोजनं नाम प्रयाति नरकं मृतः
A man who indulges in oil, meat, or intercourse on all these occasions surely goes, upon death, to the hell called Viṇmūtra-bhojana.
अशेषपर्वस्वेतेषु तस्मात् संयमिभिर्बुधैः । भाव्यं सच्छास्त्रदेवेज्याध्यानजप्यपरैर्नरैः
Therefore, on all such sacred days, the wise and self-controlled should engage in study of true scriptures, worship of the gods, meditation, and recitation.
नान्ययोनावयोनौ वा नोपयुक्तौषधस्तथा । द्विजदेवगुरूणां च व्यवायी नाश्रमे भवेत्
One should not approach a woman of another species, nor in an improper place, nor after taking medicine; nor should intercourse occur with the wives of twice-born, gods, or teachers, nor in a place of ascetic practice.
चैत्यचत्वरतीरेषु नैव गोष्ठे चतुष्पथे । नैव श्मशानोपवने सलिलेषु महीपते
Not at shrines, crossroads, cattle pens, cremation grounds, groves, or in water, O king, should intercourse take place.
प्रोक्तपर्वस्वशेषेषु नैव भूपाल सन्ध्ययोः । गच्छेद्व्यवायं मनसा न मूत्रोच्चारपीडितः
On the remaining sacred days, O king, and at twilight, one should not engage in intercourse, nor when pressed by the urge to urinate or defecate, even in thought.
पर्वस्वभिगमोऽधन्यो दिवा पापप्रदो नृप । भुवि रोगावहो नॄणामप्रशस्तो जलाशये
Intercourse on sacred days brings misfortune; by day, it gives sin, O king; on the ground, it brings disease to men; in water, it is considered blameworthy.
परदारान्न गच्छेत मनसापि कथञ्चन । किमु वाचास्थिबन्धोऽपि नास्ति तेषु व्यवायिनाम्
One should never, even in thought, approach another man's wife; what need to say by word or deed? For those who do so, there is no bond of righteousness.
मृतो नरकमभ्येति हीयतेऽत्रापि चायुषः । परदाररतिः पुंसामिह चामुत्र भीतिदा
Such a man, upon death, goes to hell and even in this life his lifespan is diminished; union with another's wife brings fear both here and hereafter.
इति मत्वा स्वदारेषु ऋतुमत्सु बुधो व्रजेत् । यथोक्तदोषहीनेषु सकामेष्वनृतावपि
Knowing this, the wise man should approach his own wife at the proper season, free from the faults described, with desire, even if not in the fertile period.
(गृहस्थाचारकथनम्) और्व उवाच देवगोब्राहमणान् सिद्धान् वृद्धाचार्यांस्तथार्चयेत् । द्विकालञ्च नमेत् सन्ध्यामग्नीनुपचरेत् तथा
Aurva said: One should honor the gods, cows, brahmins, perfected beings, elders, and teachers; one should bow to the twilight twice daily and serve the sacred fires accordingly.
सदानुपहते वस्त्रे प्रशस्ताश्च महौषधीः । गारुडानि च रत्नानि बिभृयात् प्रयतो नरः
A man should always wear unsoiled garments, use excellent herbs, and, with devotion, wear gems of the Garuḍa class.
