 No doubt, Manu has said that the wife goes to hell, if she performs the worship of Devatas, reciting of prayers, performing of austerities &c.

The women should use the mantra, " Namah," in place of all mantras, and so also the Sudras.  As says GAUTAMA (X. 64) : — *' If permission has been given to him, he may use the exclamation namah (adoration) as his mantra."
