Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMaṇḍanavarjitā (मण्डनवर्जिता) refers to “she who does not adorn herself”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] A chaste lady shall take food only after her husband has taken it. O Śivā, if he stands, the woman too shall remain standing. When he sleeps she can also sleep. But she must intelligently wake up before him. She shall do what is beneficial to him. She shall love him without any sort of deception. O Śivā, she shall never show herself unembellished to him. If for any important work he is on exile she shall never adorn herself (maṇḍanavarjitā). [...]”.
