Shloka : 171

निजसम्बन्धिभिरु़पि तारु़ण्ये तरु़णैर्नरे: ।

साकं रहसि न स्थेयं ताभिरापदमन्तरा ॥ 171 ॥

અને યુવા અવસ્થાને વિષે રહી એવી જે વિધવા સ્ત્રીઓ તેમણે, યુવા અવસ્થાવાળા જે પોતાના સંબંધી પુરુષ, તેમની સંગાથે પણ, એકાંત સ્થળને વિષે આપત્કાળ પડ્યા વિના ન રહેવું. ॥ 171 ॥

And a widow who is of young age, should not stay in a lonely place except during an emergency with a young man, evenif he is a close relative. || 171 ||

Commentary

Moreover, a widow during her young age, should not remain in a lonely place except during an emergency with a young man, evenif he is a close relative like her father, brother etc. Because during young age the slightest encouragement to 'Kama' i.e. sexual desires can make one think strong enough to conquer the world. Later on, it cannot be controlled by any means. In a house where a man sleeps alone on a certain floor, a widow should not sleep on a floor below or above that floor. And she should cover her bodyparts like breasts, abdomen and thighs with a cloth so that they are not visible to any man; and should not behave in a restless manner through her hands or legs and should not rub her legs etc..
