Note 15 — Chapter XI · GENERAL.
Reading edition
Newly married girls have to perform the worship of Mangala Gauri successively for the first five years on every Tuesday in the month of Shráwan (August), and it is enjoined that they should not speak while taking their meals on that day. Some people do not speak while taking their meals on every Monday of Shráwan, and others make a vow of observing silence and secrecy at their meals every day. All Bráhmans have to remain silent when going to the closet and making water.15
