If, while the impurity caused by a birth lasts, 26. ‘The meaning is, that the relatives of such children do not become impure.’ (Nand.) 28. ‘The meaning is, that he must not be burnt.’ (Nand.) 32. The import of this Sfitra is this, that the full period of impurity is ordained on the death of women also, in case they were married, as the marriage ceremony takes with them the place of the initiation of males. XXII, 43: IMPURITY. 9! another impurity caused by childbirth intervenes, it ends when the former impurity terminates. 36. If it intervenes when one night (only of the period of impurity remains, the fresh impurity terminates) two days later. 37. If it intervenes when one watch (only of the last night remains, the impurity ends) three days later. 38. The same rule is observed if a relative dies during a period of impurity caused by the death (of another relative). 39.

(He becomes pure) in one day, if the wife or son of his teacher, or his U padhy4Aya (sub-teacher '), or his maternal uncle, or his father-in-law, or a brotherin-law, or a fellow-student, or a pupil has died. 45. The impurity has the same duration (as in the cases last mentioned), if the king of that country in which he lives has died. 46. Likewise, if a man not his Sapizda has died at his house. 47. The relatives of those who have been killed by (falling from) a precipice, or by fire, or (have killed themselves by) fasting, or (have been killed by) water, in battle, by lightning, or by the king (on account of a crime committed by them), do not become impure ;

Nor do kings (become impure) while engaged in the discharge of their duties (such as the protection of their subjects, the trial of lawsuits, &c.) 49. Devotees fulfilling a vow (also do not become impure) ; 50. Nor do sacrificers engaged in a sacrificial ceremony ; 51. Nor workmen (such as carpenters or others) while engaged in their work ; 52. Nor those who perform the king’s orders, if the king wishes them to be pure. 53. Nor (can impurity arise) during the installation of the monument of a deity, nor during 44. 'See XXIX, 2. 49.

IMPURITY. 93 a marriage ceremony, if those ceremonies have actually begun; 54. Nor when the whole country is afflicted with a calamity; 55. Nor in times of great public distress (such as an epidemic or a famine). 56. Suicides and outcasts do not cause impurity or receive offerings of water. 57. On the death-day of an outcast a female slave of his must upset a pot with water with her feet, (saying, ‘ Drink thou this.’) 58. He who cuts the rope by which (a suicide) has hung himself, becomes pure by performing the Taptakvzééhra (‘hot penance’). 59. So does he who has been (in any way) concerned with the funeral of a suicide; 60. And he who sheds tears for such. 61. He who sheds tears for any deceased person together with the relations of the latter (becomes pure) by a bath. .62. If he has done so, before the bones (of the deceased) had been collected, (he becomes pure) by bathing with his apparel. 63. If a member of a twice-born caste has followed the corpse of a dead Sidra, he must go to a river, and having plunged into it, mutter the Aghamarshama three times, and then, after having emerged from it, mutter the Gayatri one thousand and eight times. 64. (If he has followed) the corpse of a dead member of a twice-born caste, (the same expiation 55. Giving or taking alms does not effect impurity in such cases. (Nand.) 94 VISHNU. XXII, 65. is ordained, but he must mutter the G4yatrt) one hundred and eight times only. 65. If a S(dra has followed the corpse of a member of a twice-born caste, he must bathe. 66. Members of any caste, who have come near to the smoke of a funeral pile, must bathe. 67.

(Bathing is also ordained) after sexual intercourse, bad dreams (of having been mounted upon an ass, or the like), when blood has issued from the throat, and after having vomited or been purged ; 68. Also, after tonsure of the head; 69. And after having touched one who has touched a corpse (a carrier of a corpse), or a woman in her courses, or a AKAézdala (or other low-caste persons, such as Svapaéas), or a sacrificial post ; 70. And (after having touched) the corpse of a five-toed animal, except of those kinds that may be eaten}, or their bones still moist with fat. 71. In all such ablutions he must not wear his (defiled) apparel without having washed it before. 72. A woman in her courses becomes pure after four days by bathing. 73. A woman in her courses having touched another woman in her courses, who belongs to a lower caste than she does, must not eat again till she is purified. 74. If she has (unawares) touched a woman of her own caste, or of a higher caste than her own, she becomes pure at once, after having taken a bath. 75. Having sneezed, having slept, having eaten, 470. 1 See LI, 6. 45. Nand. argues from a passage of Yagfiavalkya (I, 196) and from texts of Apastamba (not found in his Dharma-sfitra) and of Prafetas, that the particle 4a refers to repeated sipping of water. XXII, 83. IMPURITY. 95 going to eat or to study, having drunk (water), having bathed, having spat, having put on his garment, having walked on the high road, having discharged urine or voided excrements, and having touched the bones no longer moist with fat of a five-toed animal, he must sip water; 76. Likewise, if he has talked to a KAzdAla or to a Mle&£/a (barbarian). 77. If the lower part of his body, below the navel, or one of his fore-arms, has been defiled by one of the impure excretions of the body, or by one of the spirituous liquors or of the intoxicating drinks (hereafter mentioned), he is purified by cleansing the limb in question with earth and water. 78. If another part of his body (above the navel) has been defiled, (he becomes pure by cleansing it) with earth and water, and by bathing. 79. If his mouth has been defiled (he becomes pure) by fasting, bathing, and drinking Pafizagavya; 80. Likewise, if his lip has been defiled. 81. Adeps, semen, blood, dandruff, urine, feeces, earwax, nail-parings, phlegm, tears, rheum, and sweat are the twelve impure excretions of the body. 82.
