अह्रीको वा विमूढो वा नैव स्त्री न पुनः पुमान् । नास्याधिकारो धर्मेऽस्ति यथा शूद्रस्तथैव सः॥५-७०-३८॥
One who lacks hrī, or who is deluded, is—by the traditional norm—reckoned neither ‘woman’ nor ‘man’. He has no standing in dharma; he is treated as without entitlement, like a śūdra in the text’s social-legal idiom.
