A king is declared to be equal (in wickedness) to a butcher who keeps a hundred thousand slaughter-houses ; to accept presents from him is a terrible (crime). 87.

When he has risen, has relieved the necessities of nature and carefully purified himself, let him stand during the morning twilight, muttering for a long time (the G4yatrt), and at the proper time (he must similarly perform) the evening (devotion). 94. By prolonging the twilight devotions, the sages obtained long life, wisdom, honour, fame, and excellence in Vedic knowledge. 95.
