If one wears the jewel of Krishna at his throat, and his speech be impure, be he man or woman, his true name is whore. If she brings no gift in her hand, if she wears not the bracelet of a stout spirit, such a whore is cast off by the saints, they shave her head and put her to shame. Tuka says, She fails to reach the standard and sinks into misery.
