He may either offer oblations to Kama and Manyu (with the following two Mantras), ‘Kama (passion) has done it; Manyu (anger) has done it.’ ‘Or he may mutter (these Mantras). 14. Or, after having eaten sesamum or fasted on the days of the full and new moon he may, on the © following day bathe, and stopping his breath, repeat the Gayatri one thousand times, or he may do so without stopping his breath. PRASNA I, Parata 9, KuAnpa 27, 1.. After having eaten sesamum or having fasted on the full moon day of the month Srévaza (July— August), he may on the following day bathe in the water of a great river and offer (a burnt-oblation of) one thousand pieces of sacred fuel, whilst reciting the Gayatri, or he may mutter (the Gayatri) as many times. 2. Or he may perform Ish¢is and Soma-sacrifices for the sake of purifying himself (from his sins). 3. After having eaten forbidden food, he must fast, until his entrails are empty. 4. That is (generally) attained after seven days. 5. Or he may during winter and during the dewy 13. Weber, Ind. Stud. X, 102. According to the greatness of the crime the number of the burnt-oblations must be increased and the prayers be repeated. 27. 1. ‘The oblations of sacred fuel (samidh) are not to be accompanied by the exclamation Svaha.’—Haradatta. 2. Ishfis are the simplest forms of the Srauta-sacrifices, i.e. of those for which three fires are necessary. 3- For some particular kinds of forbidden food the same penance is prescribed, Manu XI, 153-154.

The rule for the K7zékhra penance of twelve days (is the following): For three days he must not eat in the evening, and then for three days not in the morning ; for three days he must live on food which has been given unasked, and three days he must not eat anything. 8. If he repeats this for a year, that is called a Krzkkhra penance, which lasts for a year. 9. Now follows another penance. He who has committed even a great many sins which do not cause him to fall, becomes free from guilt, if, fasting, he recites the entire Sakha of his Veda three times consecutively.
29. Now follows another penance. He who has committed even a great many sins which do not cause him to fall, becomes free from guilt, if, fasting, he recites the entire Sakha of his Veda three times consecutively. 10. He who cohabits with a non-Aryan woman, he who lends money at interest, he who drinks (other) spirituous liquors (than Surd), he who praises everybody in a manner unworthy of a Brahmaza, shall sit on grass, allowing his back to be scorched (by the sun). 11. A Brahmaza removes the sin which he committed by serving one day and night (a man of) the black race, if he bathes for three years, eating at every fourth meal-time. 4. The same penance is described, under the name Pragapatya krikkhra, the Krikkhra invented by Pragapati, Manu XI, 212, and Yaga. III, 320. 9. Manu XI, 259. 11. The expression krishna varna, ‘the black race,’ is truly Vedic. In the Azg-veda it usually denotes the aboriginal races, and sometimes the demons. Others explain the Sfitra thus: 88 APASTAMBA. I, 10, 28. Prasna I, Parata 10, Kuawna 28. 1. He who, under any conditions whatsoever, covets (and takes) another man’s possessions is a thief; thus (teach) Kautsa and Harita as well as Kazva and Pushkarasddi. 2. VAarshy4yami declares, that there are exceptions to this law, in regard to some possessions. 3. (E.g.) seeds ripening in the pod, food for a draught-ox ; (if these are taken), the owners (ought) not (to) forbid it. 4. To take even these things in too great a quantity is sinful. 5. Harita declares, that in every case the permission (of the owner must be obtained) first. 6. He shall not go to visit a fallen teacher or blood relation. 7. Nor shall he accept the (means for procuring) enjoyments from such a person. 8. If he meets them accidentally he shall silently. embrace (their feet) and pass on. g. A mother does very many acts for her son, therefore he must constantly serve her, though she be fallen. 10. But (there shall be) no communion (with a fallen mother) in acts performed for the acquisition of spiritual merit. A Brahmana removes the sin, which he committed by cohabiting for one night with a female of the Sfdra caste, &c.—Haradatta. The latter explanation has been adopted by Kullaka on Manu XI, 179. ‘ 28.3. The same rule Manu emphatically ascribes to himself, Manu VIII, 339. But see also VIII, 331. 4. Haradatta remarks, that this Stra implicitly forbids to accept the heritage of an outcast. I, 10, 28.

After that he (may be) purified. 13. Then he may have intercourse with Aryans.
312. After that he (may be) purified. 13. Then he may have intercourse with Aryans. 14. This penance may also be employed in the case of the other crimes which cause loss of caste (for which no penance has been ordained above). 15. But the violator of a Guru’s bed shall enter a hollow iron image and, having caused a fire to be lit on both sides, he shall burn himself. 16. According to Harita, this (last-mentioned penance must) not (be performed). 17. For he who takes his own or another's life becomes an Abhisasta. 18, He (the violator of a Guru's bed) shall perform to his last breath (the penance) prescribed by that rule (Sdtra 11). He cannot be purified in this world. But (after death) his sin is taken away. 19. He who has unjustly forsaken his wife shall put on an ass’s skin, with the hair turned outside, and beg in seven houses, saying, ‘Give alms to him who forsook his wife.’ That shall be his livelihood for six months. 20. But if a wife forsakes her husband, she shall 11.

He who has killed a Bhriwa (a man learned in the Vedas and Ved4ngas and skilled in the performance of the rites) shall put on the skin of a dog or of an ass, with the hair turned outside, and take a human skull for his drinking-vessel, Prasna I, Parata 10, KHanpa 29. 1. And he shall take the foot of a bed instead of a staff and, proclaiming the name of his deed, he shall go about (saying), ‘Who (gives) alms to the murderer of a Bhraiza?’ Obtaining thus his livelihood in the village, he shall dwell in an empty house or under a tree, (knowing that) he is not allowed to have intercourse with Aryans. According to this rule he shall act until his last breath. He cannot be purified in this world. But (after death) his sin is taken away. 2. He even who slays unintentionally, reaps nevertheless the result of his sin. 3. (His guilt is) greater, (if he slays) intentionally. 4. The same (principle applies) also to other sinful actions, 5. And also to good works. 6. A Bréhmaza shall not take a weapon into his hand, though he be only desirous of examining it. 7. Ina Purdma (it has been declared), that he who 29. 5. Haradatta gives, as an example, the case where a warrior saves the property of a traveller from thieves.
