Shloka : 179

न स्पृश्यो नेक्षणीयश्च नारीवेषधर: पुमान् ।

न कार्यं स्त्री: समुद्दिश्य भगवद्गुणकीर्तनम् ॥ 179 ॥

અને સ્ત્રીના વેષને ધરી રહ્યો એવો જે પુરુષ તેને અડવું નહિ, અને તેની સામું જોવું નહિ, અને તે સાથે બોલવું નહિ; અને સ્ત્રીનો ઉદ્દેશ કરીને ભગવાનની કથા-વાર્તા-કીર્તન પણ ન કરવાં. ॥ 179 ॥

And they should not touch a man who is dressed up as a woman and should neither look at him nor talk to him and they should not narrate the narratives of God and sing the devotional songs addressing a woman. || 179 ||

Commentary

The celibate devotees of Shri Hari should not touch a man who is dressed up as a 'Suvasini' or a widowed woman and should not even look at him, because even the sight of him can remind of a woman. Moreover, 'addressing women' i.e. women who are far away can listen to it, with such intention, they should not sing the devotional songs of Shri Hari in front of men, because such worship and singing the praise remind them of women in their mind and their vow of staunch celibacy is spoiled.
