Ananujñāta (अननुज्ञात) refers to the “absence of permission”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] Without being permitted (ananujñāta) by her husband she shall not observe fast and other rites. Should it be so, she will derive no benefit. She may fall into hell in other worlds. While the husband is sportively engaged or seated comfortably she shall not worry him to get up under the pretext of attending to some household work. Whether he is impotent, distressed, sick or senile, happy or unhappy, the husband shall never be transgressed. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
