ENGLISH TRANSLATION
31.Unchaste women have no proper place anywhere. Unchaste women are worse than murderers. 32.O king of brähmanas, at a certain time the results of past karma come to an end. This is not so for unchaste women. They suffer for as long as the sun and moon shine in the sky. 33.A chaste woman is more kind to an insect than an unchaste woman is to her longtime lover. A chaste woman is more reluctant to kill an insect than an unchaste woman is to kill her lover. 34.Finding a new lover expert in sex, she sees her old lover to be like poison. She rejects him without a second thought. 35.On this earth no sinner is worse than an unchaste woman. 36.Food cooked by an unchaste woman and water offered by her are mixed with all her sins. They should not be offered to the demigods and pitäs. 37.Food cooked by an unchaste woman is stool. Water offered by her is urine. One who offers these things to the demigods and pitäs, and then eats the remnants, goes to hell. 38.For a hundred years he burns in a terrible blind hell. Great worms bite him day and night. 39.One who eats food cooked by an unchaste woman becomes the lowest of men. Seven births of his pious deeds perish. 40.His lifespan, wealth, handsomeness, and fame are all destroyed in both this life and the next. For this reason a man should carefully protect both his wife and his arrangement for cooking meals.
