("Without beginning, middle, or end, unborn, ancient — I, a woman in her courses, bow to the best of the gods.") Then, O goddess, when a woman in her courses has eaten with this mantra, whatever acts she does, she is never defiled by them. For one who performs any action whatever, as with a lotus leaf in water, he is not smeared by the contact — only through equanimity, not otherwise. He who, with his thought on me constantly and with steady vow, worships me, having reached my supreme presence, attains to my own state. But at the fertile season enjoyment is enjoined for all women for the sake of the ancestors; he who approaches (his wife) at the fertile season is regarded as a celibate all the same. There the mantra is: "You are the beginning, your middle hidden and endless, O god — we, women in our courses, bow." And thus, having fasted three days, we bow to Vāsudeva who delights in liberation. And (beings) are born in their own station, arising each from his own karma; men are deluded in knowledge, O fair-hipped one, bewildered by the round of existence.
