1The Shaddhotr? mentioned here seems to be the animal sacrifice mentioned in the commentary on Katyayana Srauta-sfitra VI, 1, 36. 24. An Arfdhapatita, ‘he who falls from a height to which he has climbed,’ is, according to Govinda, an ascetic who slides back into civil life. 25. Vasish¢ha VI, 40; X,30. Govinda explains sa¢zyam, ‘ hardheartedness,’ by saktau satyim api paropakarakarazam, ‘not doing a kindness to others though one is able to do so.’ 26. The dialogue mentioned is that between Sarmish/#a and 238 BAUDHAYANA, II, 3, 5 Prasna II, ApuyAya 8, KawopixA 5. 1. Bathing is suitable for (the practice of) austerity. 2. The libation to the manes (is offered) after the gods have been satisfied (with water). 3. They pour out water which gives strength, from one Tirtha after the other. 4. Now they quote also (the following verses): ‘With flowing, unconfined water twice-born men of the three castes shall satisfy the gods, Azshis, and manes, when they have risen in the morning.’ 5. ‘They shall not offer (libations of water) confined (in tanks and wells). (If they do it), he who made the embankment, will obtain a share (of the merit of their devotion). 6. ‘ Therefore let him avoid embankments (around tanks) and wells made by others.’ 7. Now they quote also (the following verse): ‘Or, in times of distress—not as a rule—he may bathe in (water) confined (in tanks), after taking out three lumps (of earth); from a well (let him take three) lumps of clay and three jars of water.’ Devayani, which occurs Mahabharata I, 78. The verse quoted is the tenth of that Adhydya, and agrees with ours, except that sutaham is read for athaham in the beginning of the second half verse. 5. 3. As to the Tirthas, see above, I, 5, 8, 15-16. 5. Manu IV, 2or1. 6. Vishnu LXIV, 1. 4. Vishau LXIV, 2. I read the verse as follows: uddhritya vapi trin pivdan kuryad 4patsu no sada t niruddhdsu 4a mrztpindan kfipat trin abgha/4mstatheti | The Dekhan MSS. read at the end of the second half verse, kfiipAmstrinavafamstatha ; M. has kupétrinabapa/anstatha ; while C. I. gives kQpat trin gha/dmstatha. Nandapazdita on Vishau, loc. cit., seems to have had the latter II, 3, 3. DUTIES OF A SNATAKA. 239 8. If he has accepted presents from one who is able to give presents to many, or from one whose presents ought not to be accepted, or if he has sacrificed for one for whom he ought not to have sacrificed, or if he has eaten food (given by a person) whose food must not be eaten, he shall mutter the Taratsamandtya. 9. Now they quote also (the following verse) : ‘Those who improperly associate with (an outcast) teacher, those who improperly associate with (outcast) pupils, and those who improperly associate (with outcasts) by (accepting their) food or by (reciting) Mantras (for them), enter into deep darkness.’ 10. Now (follow) the duties of a Snataka.
2Now (follow) the duties of a Snataka. 11. After offering at the morning and at the evening (meals) with (a portion of) the food which he may have, the Vaisvadeva and the Bali-offerings, he shall honour, according to his ability, Brahmazas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sadras: (who may come to his house as) guests. 12. If he cannot (afford to give food) to many, let him give (something) to one who possesses good qualities, 13. Or to him who has come first. 14. If a Stidra (has come as) a guest, he shall order him (to do some) work, (and feed him afterwards) ; reading, and to have changed it to ‘kapat tu trin gha/dmstatha,’ in order to save the metre. The sense remains the same. 8. Manu XI, 254. The text is found Rig-veda IX, 58. Govinda explains bahupratigrahya, ‘one who is able to give presents to many,’ by bahubhr:tyabharazakshama, ‘one who is able to support many servants.’ 10. Vasish/ha XII, 1. 11. Vasishéha XI, 3-9. 14. Apastamba II, 2, 4, 19. 240 BAUDHAYANA. II, 3, 5. 15. Or (if he cannot spare much), he may give a first portion (agrya) to a Srotriya. 16. It is prescribed that the division (of the food) shall be made without detriment to (the interests of) those who daily receive a portion. 17. But he shall never eat without having given away (some small portion of the food). 18. Now they quote also two verses which have been proclaimed by (the goddess of) food: ‘Him who, without giving me to the gods, the manes, his servants, his guests and friends, consumes what has been prepared and (thus), in his exceeding folly, swallows poison, I consume, and I am his death. But for him who, offering the Agnihotra, performing the Vaisvadeva, and honouring guests, eats, full of contentment, purity, and faith, what remains after feeding those whom he must support, I become ambrosia, and he (really) enjoys me.’ 19. Presents of money must be given, according to one’s ability, to good Brahmazas, Srotriyas, and Vedaparagas, when they beg outside the Vedi, for the sake of Gurus, in order to defray (the expenses of) their marriages, or of medicine, or when they are distressed for a livelihood, or desirous to offer a sacrifice, or engaged in studying, or on a journey, or have performed a Visvagit sacrifice. 1g. Vasishtha XI, 5. Govinda quotes a verse, according to which an agrya, ‘first portion,’ is equal to sixteen mouthfuls, each of the size of a peahen’s egg. 16, Apastamba II, 4, 9, 10-11. ‘Those who daily receive a portion’ (nityabhaktika), i.e. sons, wives, and so forth—Govinda. But see also Apastamba, loc. cit. 19. Gautama V, 20-21, and notes. ‘A good Brahmaaa, i. e. one who follows the rule of conduct.’—Govinda. II, 3, 6. DUTIES OF A SNATAKA. 241 20. Cooked food (must be given) to other (beggars).

DUTIES OF A SNATAKA. 241 20. Cooked food (must be given) to other (beggars). 21. Let him eat (seated) in a pure, enclosed place, after having well washed his hands and feet and after having sipped water, respectfully receiving the food which is brought to him, keeping himself free from lust, anger, hatred, greed, and perplexity, (conveying the food into his mouth) with all his fingers and making no noise (during mastication). Prasna II, ApuyAya 8, KawpikA 6. 1. Let him not put back into the dish a remnant of food. 2. If he eats (food), containing meat, fish, or sesamum, he shall (afterwards) wash and touch fire, 3. And bathe after sunset. 4. Let him avoid a seat, clogs, sticks for cleaning the teeth, and other (implements) made of Paldsa wood, 20. Gautama V, 22. 21. Vasishtha XII, 19-20; Vishnu LXVIII, 46. ‘This is the rule for him who makes an offering to Atman (i. e. performs the Pr&nAgnihotra at his meal).—Govinda. See also below, II, 7, 12. 6. 1. ‘Ie. he shall take up as much food only as he can swallow at one mouthful.’—Govinda. 2. The Dekhan and Gugarat MSS., including K., add madhu, ‘honey,’ after sesamum. 3. This and the following six Sftras are left out in M. and the two copies of the commentary. If they have, nevertheless, been received into the text, the reason is that similar rules occur in all Dharmasfitras, and that Stra 3 begins with astamite, while astamaye occurs in Sfitraro. It seems therefore probable that the writer of the MS. from which M. and Govinda’s copies are derived, skipped over a line by mistake. 4-7. Vasish/ha XII, 34-38. [14] R 242 BAUDHAYANA. II, 3, 6. 5. Let him not eat (food placed) in his lap, 6. Nor on a chair. 7. He shall carry a staff, made of bamboo, and golden earrings. 8. Let him not rub one foot with the other while bathing, nor place the one on the other while standing, 9. Let him not wear a visible garland. 10. Let him not look at the sun when he rises or sets. 11. Let him not announce (the appearance of a rainbow) to another (man, saying), ‘There is Indra’s bow.’ 12. If he points it out, he shall call it ‘the jewelled bow.’ 13. Let him not pass between the praktlaka and the beam at the town gate, 14. Nor let him pass between the two posts of a swing. 15. Let him not step over a rope to which a calf is tied. 16. Let him not step on ashes, bones, hair, chaff, potsherds, nor on a bathing-place (moist with) water. 8. Vishnu LXXI, 4o. 9. Vasish/ha XII, 39. 10. Vasish‘ha XII, ro. 11-12. Vasishtha XII, 32-33.
