11. As stated formerly, Sacred Books of the East, vol. ii, p. li, this chapter is borrowed from Gautama XIX. I have therefore adopted the same division of the Sftras as in the translation of the latter work. 2. I read, with the MSS. of the commentary, atha khalvayam purusho yapyena karma#4 mithy4 vasaraty ayagyam va yAgayaty apratigrahyasya va pratigrzhvaty anasyannasya vannam asnaty aharantyena vakarati. M. reads yagayitva, and the Dekhan MSS. yagayitva and pratigrzhya. 5. The Dekhan MSS. read kfiryad ity eva, M. kfryad eva, and Govinda kuryat tv eva. 6. All the MSS. of the text omit the word vigiayate, ‘it is declared in the Veda,’ which is given by Govinda. 4. All the MSS. of the text give at the beginning of this Sftra ITI, 10. PENANCES. 8. Moreover, ‘He who is being eee Pps. heinous crime) shall perform an Agnishéut sacrifice. ey, 9. Reciting the Veda, austerity, a sacrifice, fasting, giving gifts are the means for expiating such (a blamable act). 10. The purificatory (texts are), the Upanishads, the initial (verses) of the Vedas, the ends of the Vedas (vedantas), the Samhit4s of all the Vedas, (the Anuvakas called) Madhu, (the hymn of) Aghamarshama, the Atharvasiras, (the Anuvdkas called the) Rudras, the Purusha hyrffn, the two Sdmans (called) Ragina and Rauhizeya, the Brzhat (SAman) and the Rathantara, the Purushagati (SAman), the Mahdnamnis, the Mahavairaga (S4man), the Mahadivakirtya (SAman), any of the Gyesh¢/a Sdmans, the Bahishpavamana Sdéman, the Kishmamdis, the Pavaméanis, and the Savitri. 11. To live on milk alone, as if one were fasting, to eat vegetables only, to eat fruit only, (to live on) gruel prepared of a handful of barley-grains, to eat gold, to eat clarified butter (are the modes of subsistence) which purify. 12. All mountains, all rivers, holy lakes, bathingplaces, the dwellings of Azshis, cowpens, (holy) plains and temples of the gods (are) places (which destroy sin). athapy udaharanti, ‘now they quote also,’ which Govinda omits, and which is inappropriate, because the following passages are taken from the Veda. 10. The word vedddaya#, which occurs also in some MSS. of Vasishéha (XXII, 9), must be explained, according to the analogy of karmédi, ‘the beginning of the sacrifices’ (Sayana on Taitt. Ar. II, 7, 5), by ‘the initial verses of the Vedas.’ The Pavamanifs are added on the authority of Govinda alone. 12. ‘Kshetra, (holy) plains, e.g. the Kurukshetra.’—Govinda. 312 BAUDHAYANA, ; III, ro. 13. Abstention from injuring living beings, truthfulness, abstention from theft (or unrighteously appropriating anything), bathing in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, obedience towards Gurus, continence, sleeping on the ground, dressing in one garment only, and abstaining from food (are the various kinds of) austerity. 14. Gold, a cow, a dress, a horse, land, sesamum, clarified butter, and food (are) the gifts.
214. Gold, a cow, a dress, a horse, land, sesamum, clarified butter, and food (are) the gifts. 15. A year, six months, four (months), three (months), two (months), one (month), twenty-four days, twelve days, six days, three days, a'day and a night, (and) one day are the periods (for penances). 16, These (acts) may be optionally performed if no (particular penance) has been prescribed, 17. (Viz.) for great crimes difficult (penances) and for trivial faults easy ones. _ 18. The Krvzééhra and the Atikvzéé/ra, as well as the Kandr4yama, are penances for all (offences), Prasna IV, AnvuyAya 1. 1. We will separately explain the various penances for the several offences, both heavier and lighter ones. 2. Let him prescribe whatever may be befitting for each (case),—heavier (penances) for great (crimes) and easier ones for trivial (faults). 3. Let him perform the penances according to the rule given in the Institutes (of the Sacred Law in cases) where an offence has been committed with the organ or with the feet (and) the arms, through 3. The construction is certainly elliptical. I understand tatra with the first half-verse. Govinda separates the two half-verses, yad upasthakrétam papam, &c., from the first, and reads at the end IV, 1. PENANCES. 313 thoughts or speech, through the ear, the skin, the nose or the eye. 4. Or, in (the case of) transgressions committed through the organ of vision, of hearing, of sensation, of smelling, and through thoughts, he also becomes pure by three suppressions of the breath. 5. In case (he commits the offences) of eating the food of a Sadra or of cohabiting with a Sddra female, severally, he must perform, during seven days, seven suppressions of the breath on each day. 6. For partaking of food unfit for eating or drinking, and for selling forbidden merchandise, excepting honey, meat, clarified butter, oil, pungent condiments and bad food, and for similar (offences), he must perform, during twelve days, twelve suppressions of the breath on each day. 7. For other transgressions excepting mortal sins (pataka), crimes causing loss of caste (patantya), and the minor faults (called upapataka), he must perform, during half a month, twelve suppressions of the breath on each day. 8. For other transgressions excepting mortal sins of the half-verse praz4y4man sam4faret, ‘one should perform suppressions of the breath (in even or equal numbers).’ 5. Govinda tries to reconcile this rule with the one given above, I, 1, 2, 7, by assuming that the word Sfidra denotes here a Brahmaza who lives like a Sfidra and neglects his sacred duties. 6. I read, conjecturally, dvidasaham, ‘twelve days.’ The MSS.: of the text have dv4dasa dv4dasdham, or corruptions pointing to this reading, and C. I. reads ardhamasam. Regarding avaranna, ‘bad food,’ see note on Apastamba II, 6, 15, 16.

For other transgressions excepting mortal sins he must perform, during twelve half-months, twelve suppressions of the breath on each day. 10. But for mortal sins he must perform, during a year, twelve suppressions of the breath on each day. 11. Let him give his daughter, while she still goes naked, to a man who has not broken the vow of chastity and who possesses good qualities, or even to one destitute of good qualities; let him not keep (the maiden) in (his house) after she has reached the age of puberty. 12. He who does not give away a marriageable daughter during three years doubtlessly contracts a guilt equal to (that of) destroying an embryo. 13. Such will be the case if anybody asks her in marriage, and also if nobody demands her. Manu has declared that at each appearance of the menses (the father incurs the guilt of) a mortal sin. 14. Three years let a marriageable damsel wait for the order of her father. But after (that) time let her choose for herself in the fourth year a husband (of) equal (rank). If no man (of) equal (rank) be found, she may take even one destitute of good qualities. 15. Ifa damsel has been abducted by force, and has not been wedded with sacred texts, she may lawfully be given to another man; she is even like a maiden. 9. I read with D., K., and M., dvadasérdhamésan.

He who does not approach, during three years, a wife who is marriageable, incurs, without doubt, a guilt equal to that of destroying an embryo. 18. But the ancestors of that man who does not approach his wife who bathed after her temporary uncleanness, though he dwells near her, lie during that month in the menstrual excretions (of the wife).
