अनाहूताश्च ये देवी गच्छंति परमंदिरम् ॥ अवमानं प्राप्नुवंति मरणादधिकं तथा ॥ २६ ॥
O gentle lady, those who go to another man’s house without being invited attain disrespect which is more serious than even death.

परालयं गतोपींद्रो लघुर्भवति तद्विधः ॥ का कथा च परेषां वै रीढा यात्रा हि तद्विधा ॥ २७ ॥
Even the prosperous Indra and people like him going to another man’s house in such a context become worthless. What then about others? A journey of such a nature is futile.

Hence you and I particularly shall not go to Dakṣa’s sacrifice. O beloved, I have told you the truth.

तथारिभिर्न व्यथते ह्यर्दितोपि शरैर्जनः ॥ स्वानांदुरुक्तिभिर्मर्मताडितस्स यथा मतः ॥२९॥
People wounded with arrows by enemies are not so pained as when their vulnerable points are hit by the taunting words of kinsmen.
