Regarding the meaning of Mlek&ha, see LXXXIV, 4. 82, 83. 1 How the M&dhvi, Madhfika, and Madhvika wines differ from one another, does not become clear. Nand. explains the term M4dhfka as denoting an extract from Madhika blossoms (bassia latifolia), and MAdhvt and Madhvtka as two different preparations from Madhu. Now Madhu might be rendered by ‘ honey;’ 96 VISHNU. XXII, 84. Madhtika tree (Madhika wine), from molasses, from the fruits of the Zanka (or Kapittha tree), of the jujube tree, of the Khargira tree, or of the breadfruit tree, from wine-grapes, from Madhfka blossoms (M4dhvika wine), Maireya, and the sap of the cocoanut tree: 84. These ten intoxicating drinks are unclean for a Bréhmaza ; but a Kshatriya and a Vaisya commit no wrong in touching (or drinking) them. 85. A pupil having performed (on failure of other mourners) the funeral of his dead Guru, becomes pure after ten nights, like those (kinsmen) who carry out the dead. 86. A student does not infringe the rules of his order by carrying out, when dead, his teacher, or his sub-teacher, or his father, or his mother, or his Guru. 87. A student must not offer a libation of water to a deceased relative (excepting his parents) till the term of his studentship has expired; but if, after its expiration, he offers a libation of water, he becomes pure after three nights. 88. Sacred knowledge (see 92), religious austerities (see go), fire (see XXIII, 33), holy food (Paiikagavya), earth (see 91), the mind, water (see 91), smearing (with cow-dung and the like, see XXIII, 56), air (see XXIII, 41), (the morning and evening prayers and other) religious acts, the sun but Kullfka, in his comment on the term Madhvf (M. XI, 95), states expressly that it means ‘ Madhftka blossom,’ and Harita (as quoted by Nand.) says that Madhfka, M4dhvf and Madhvika are all preparations from Madhu, i.e. Madhfka blossoms. Maireya, according to the lexicographer Vafaspati, as quoted by Nand., is an intoxicating drink prepared from the flowers of the grislea tormentosa, mixed with sugar, grain, and water, or, according to the reading of the Sabdakalpadruma (see the Petersburg Dictionary), with sorrel. XXIII, 1. IMPURITY. 97 (see XXIII, 40), and time (by the lapse of the ten days of impurity and the like) are purifiers of animate objects. 89. Of all pure things, pure food is pronounced the most excellent ; for he who eats pure food only, is truly pure, not he who is only purified with earth and water. 90. By forgiveness of injuries the learned are purified ; by liberality, those who have done forbidden acts; by muttering of prayers, those who have sinned in secret; by religious austerities, those who best know the Veda.

By forgiveness of injuries the learned are purified ; by liberality, those who have done forbidden acts; by muttering of prayers, those who have sinned in secret; by religious austerities, those who best know the Veda. g1. By water and earth is purified what should be purified (because it has been defiled); a river is purified by its current (carrying away all slime and mud); a woman, whose thoughts have been impure, by her menses; and the chief among the twice-born (the Brahmazas), by renouncing the world. 92. Bodies (when defiled) are purified by water ; the mind is purified (from evil thoughts) by truth ; the soul (is purified or freed from worldly vanity) by sacred learning and austerities; the understanding (when unable to resolve some doubt), by knowledge. 93. Thus the directions for purifying animate bodies have been declared to thee; hear now the rules for cleaning all sorts of inanimate objects. XXIII. 1. What has been defiled by the impure excretions of the body, by spirits, or by intoxicating drinks, is impure in the highest degree. XXIII. 2. Apast. I, 5,17, 10; Gaut. I, 29. — 4. Y. I, 185; Gaut.

Things made of gems or stones or watershells, (such as conch-shells or mother-of-pearl, become pure) by digging them into the earth for seven days. 4. Things made of horns (of rhinoceroses or other animals), or of teeth (of elephants or other animals), or of bone (of tortoises or other animals, become pure) by planing them. 5. Vessels made of wood or earthenware must be thrown away. 6. Of a garment, which has been defiled in the highest degree, let him cut off that part which, having been washed, is changed in colour. 7. Objects made of gold, silver, water-shells, or gems, when (they are only defiled by leavings of food and the like, and) not smeared (with greasy substances), are cleansed with water. 8.
