अपत्यलोभाद् या तु स्त्री भर्तारमतिवर्तते । सेह निन्दामवाप्नोति परलोकाच्च हीयते ॥ १६१ ॥
But a woman who from a desire to have offspring violates her duty towards her (deceased) husband, brings on herself disgrace in this world, and loses her place with her husband (in heaven).
नान्योत्पन्ना प्रजाऽस्तीह न चाप्यन्यपरिग्रहे । न द्वितीयश्च साध्वीनां क्व चिद् भर्तोपदिश्यते ॥ १६२ ॥
Offspring begotten by another man is here not (considered lawful), nor (does offspring begotten) on another man’s wife (belong to the begetter), nor is a second husband anywhere prescribed for virtuous women.
She who cohabits with a man of higher caste, forsaking her own husband who belongs to a lower one, will become contemptible in this world, and is called a remarried woman (parapurva).
By violating her duty towards her husband, a wife is disgraced in this world, (after death) she enters the womb of a jackal, and is tormented by diseases (the punishment of) her sin.
She who, controlling her thoughts, words, and deeds, never slights her lord, resides (after death) with her husband (in heaven), and is called a virtuous (wife).
