Second opinion: If a woman of prime youth becomes menstruating again before sixteen days, she becomes pure by merely taking a bath. Meaning: If a woman becomes menstruating again before sixteen days after her previous menstruation, she does not need to observe three days of impurity. She is considered pure by merely taking a bath, this is the second opinion. || 12 ||
If a menstruating woman experiences menstruation again before eighteen days, she is pure. If she becomes menstruating on the eighteenth day, she becomes pure after two days. After two days, she becomes pure by taking a bath. And if she becomes menstruating on the nineteenth day or later, she becomes pure after three days. || 13 ||
A woman of full youth who becomes menstruating again on the eighteenth day, although she becomes pure after observing two days of impurity, is fit for performing religious rites and ancestral rites on the third day. Because she is menstruating, she is impure. || 14 ||
If a woman who has taken a bath becomes menstruating again before eighteen days, she is not considered impure. This is the third opinion. || 15 ||

The conduct of a menstruating woman: A woman in her period should sleep on a clean bed. She should stay in a secluded place, avoiding contact with healthy people. || 16 ||
She should remain silent, and not be devoid of religious duties. She should protect her body with garlands of jasmine, Madhavi creeper, and white jasmine. || 17 ||
She should avoid eating food with a strong taste for three days. She should abstain from applying collyrium, unguents, perfumes, and ornaments. || 18 ||
She should not look at a deity, a guru, a king, her own reflection in a mirror, or her family deity. She should not speak to them equally. || 19 ||
