Sakhitva (सखित्व) refers to “association (with other persons)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] If a chaste lady wishes for the longevity of her husband she shall not forsake turmeric, vermilion, saffron, collyrium, a blouse, the betel, the necklace, ornaments, brushing and plaiting the hair bangles and earrings. A chaste woman shall never associate (sakhitva) intimately with a washerwoman, a harlot, a female ascetic or a fallen woman. [...]”.
