gods in heaven as a holy man, and (after death)
that virtuous man rejoices for a very long time in
heaven like a god.
8. If a Brahma^a is unable to offer those eight
Gawahomas, let him offer one ; thereby his guilt is
effaced.
9. He, also, whose sons or pupils offer those eight
Gawahomas, is freed from his sin which is bought
off by his having instructed (them).
10. Through a desire of removing one's guilt one
even may cause (these oblations) to be offered by
men who have been engaged for money, in case
oneself is unable (to do it); a man need not torment
himself.
11. Even among the virtuous a distribution of
wealth is made (for the success) of holy rites; some-
times a man who is free from debt is (thereby) freed
from guilt.
12. Liberated according to this rule from the
ocean of guilt and debt, he considers himself pure
and able to successfully perform the sacred rites.
13. But in the case of that pure mortal who, freed
from all sin and debts, begins the sacred rites, they
will succeed without any effort.
14. Let him daily (study and) teach this holy
(rule) of Pra/apati, which the sage has proclaimed,
let him remember it or hear it. (By doing that) he
is freed from all guilt and will be exalted in Brah-
man's world.
10. The meaning is that in case a wealthy man is unable to bear ' the restraints,' he may hire others to perform the Homas. Though the hired performer will be guilty of a serious offence (Sutra i), the person who causes them to be performed will derive benefit from them.

15. Let him mutter during twelve days those
sacred texts through which he wishes to accomplish
(his desires), eating once (a day) at night boiled
rice with clarified butter, with milk, or with sour
milk.
1 6. (Let him offer) ten times a burnt oblation and
sprinkle clarified butter. (That is) the preliminary
worship (which must be performed) when one desires
to accomplish one's objects through those sacred
texts.

1. We will explain the rule for the adoption of a son.
2. Man, formed of virile seed and uterine blood,
proceeds from his mother and father (as an effect)
from its cause.
3. (Therefore) the father and the mother have power to give, to abandon, or to sell their (son).
4. But let him not give nor receive (in adoption) an only son ;
5. For he (must remain) to continue the line of the ancestors.
6. Let a woman neither give nor receive a son except with the permission of her husband.
7. He who is desirous of adopting (a son) pro-
cures two garments, two earrings, and a finger-ring ;
a spiritual guide who has studied the whole Veda ; a
layer of Ku^a grass and fuel of PalcLya wood and so
forth.
5. i. This chapter has been translated by Mr. Sutherland, Dattaka Mfmatfzsd V, 42, and Dattaka ATandrM II, 16, and by myself, Journal Bengal Br. Roy. As. Soc., vol. XXXV, p. 162.

7-8. Vasish/tta XV, 7. The translation of madhye by ' in their presence ' rests on the authority of the Sa/wskarakaustubha 47 b, it, where it is explained madhye [a] iti bandhusamaksham. The other explanation ' in the middle (of his dwelling)/ to which the interpo- lated text of the Dattaka MfmawsS and Dattaka ATandrild refers, is, however, also possible.

8. Then he convenes his relations, informs the
king (of his intention to adopt) in (their) presence,
feeds the (invited) Brdhmawas in the assembly or
in (his) dwelling, and makes them wish him 'an
auspicious day,' ' hail/ (and) ' prosperity.'
9. Then he performs the ceremonies which begin
with the drawing of the lines on the altar and end
with the placing of the water-vessels, goes to the
giver (of the child) and should address (this) request
(to him), ' Give me (thy) son/
10. The other answers, ' I give (him).'
IT. He receives (the child with these words), 'I
take thee for the fulfilment of (my) religious duties ;
I take thee to continue the line (of my ancestors).'
12. Then he adorns him with the (above-men-
tioned) two garments, the two earrings, and the
finger-ring, performs the rites which begin with the
placing of the (pieces of wood called) paridhis
(fences round the altar) and end with the Agni-
mukha, and offers (a portion) of the cooked (food)
in the fire.
13. Having recited the Puronuvdkyd (verse), ' He
who thinking of thee with a discerning mind,' &c.,
he offers an oblation, reciting the Ya^yd (verse), ' To
which performer of good deeds, thou, O G&ta-
vedas,' &c.
14. Then he offers (oblations, reciting) the Vya-
hrttis ; — (the ceremonies) which begin the oblation
to Agni Svish/akrzt and end with the presentation
8. The ceremony alluded to is the so-called piwyahavlfonam.

of a cow as a fee (to the officiating priest are) known ; —
15. And presents (to the spiritual guide) as a
sacrificial fee those two dresses, those two earrings,
and that finger-ring (with which he had adorned the
child).
1 6. If after the performance of these (rites) a legi-
timate son of his own body is born (to the adopter,
then the adopted son) receives a fourth (of the legi-
timate son's) share. Thus says Baudhayana.
