Strīśūdrācāra (स्त्रीशूद्राचार) (lit. “ethical conduct for women and śūdras”) is the name of chapter 13 of the Śeṣasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses narrated by Śeṣa (=Ananta) to Nārada and dealing primarily with the use of the appropriate mantras for various occasions such as jayantī celebrations.

[Description of the chapter strīśūdrācāra]: Vyāsa, having heard that; wants to know now about the behavior incumbent upon women and Śūdras. Śeṣa says they have the same obligations, except that such persons may not use “Oṃ” in their mantras (1-16). Again, the Pāñcarātra way is pointed to as their best avenue to salvation (17-19a).
