Lindsey Harlan probes deeper into the "sativrata" stage. As a transitional figure on her path to becoming a powerful family protector as "satimata", the "sativrata" dictates the terms and obligations the family, in showing reverence to her, must observe in order for her to be able to protect them once she has become satimata. These conditions are generally called "ok". A typical example of an "ok" is a restriction on the colours or types of clothing the family members may wear.
