Significance of Forbidden thing

The keyphrase "forbidden thing" pertains to different interpretations in Arthashastra and Dharmashastra. In Arthashastra, it relates to the Daityas' desire for the goddess Parvati, seen as an impermissible wish. Conversely, in Dharmashastra, it encompasses actions deemed impermissible during certain times, such as menstruation, alongside broader prohibitions that necessitate purification through the recitation of Vyahritis. Thus, the concept encompasses both specific desires and broader actions considered taboo across these texts.

In Dutch: Verboden ding; In Finnish: Kielletty asia; In Spanish: Cosa prohibida
