) Whatever the maids, servants or neighbours have
been discussing should not be used as gossip within
the family. In the same manner whatever has
taken place at your parents' home should not be
brought to your husband's home and whatever has
been spoken at your husband's home should not
be carried to your parents' home. Such talks
create enmity. Always remember that you could
become the victim if you take part in idle talks.
Note the poet's words:
If a woman speaks ill of anyone,
You must never give your opinion;
It is wiser than to be silent awhile;
And not be the object of words most vile.
All the blame will come on your head,
And at home you would have trouble earned.

5. Give to those who give and also give to those
who do not give; particularly close friends of the
family should not be denied the favours that

bhama; that is, the friends of one's husband
should be treated with hospitality.
