Also not good: iron, mud, leather, hair, a madman and a eunuch. Chandalas, Shvapacas and the like, and jailers.
Simple meaning: Iron, mud, leather, hair, a madman and prison guards are bad to meet.
गर्भिणी स्त्री च विधवाः पिण्याकादीनि वै मृतम् ।
A pregnant woman, widows, ash, a skull and a broken pot are not good to see.
अशस्तो वाद्यशब्दश्च भिन्नभैरवझर्झरः ।
Cracked or jarring music is bad. A call of 'Come' from the front is good, not from behind.
गच्छेति पश्चाच्छब्दोऽग्र्यः पुरस्तात्तु विगर्हितः ।
'Go' said from behind is best. 'Stay' or 'Where are you going' is bad.
