Book I : Bala Kanda - The Youthful Majesties
द्वैविध्यम् ब्रह्मचर्यस्य भविष्यति महात्मनः || १-९-५
5. vipra indraH = Brahman, the best; na anyam jaanaati = not, others, knowing [not knowing others]; nityam pitra anu vartanaat = always, father, abiding; dvai vidhyam = hindrance, [or, two kinds]; brahma charyasya = of his celibacy; bhaviSyasi = he will be following/will occur to him;mahaatmanaH = to that great soul.
"Not knowing others, that Brahman the best, namely Rishyasringa, will always be abiding his father and he will follow celibacy of two kinds Brahmanical vows namely vratitva , praajaapatya ...
Or
Not knowing others that Brahman the best, will always be abiding his father, lest his renowned celibacy always praised by the Brahmans, will be hindered. [1-9-5]
The word dvaividhyam also means two kinds of celibacy, vratitva and prajaapatyam. One, as a bachelor and the other after marriage, voluntarily distancing away from his wife on certain forbidden days like full moon and new moon days, during daytime, eclipses, and other astronomical occurrences and some more. This kind of self-imposed celibacy is one way of observing sustained family planning methods, instead of resorting to medicaments. Here, this word is more nearer to mean 'hindrance', than to mean the 'two way celibacy' as deciphered by some commentators.
