IMPURITY.
91
another impurity caused by childbirth intervenes, it
ends when the former impurity terminates.
36. If it intervenes when one night (only of the
period of impurity remains, the fresh impurity
terminates) two days later.
37. If it intervenes when one watch (only of
the last night remains, the impurity ends) three
days later.
38. The same rule is observed if a relative dies
during a period of impurity caused by the death
(of another relative).
39. If a man, while staying in another country,
hears of the birth or death (of a relative), he be-
comes purified after the lapse of the period still
wanting (to the ten days).
40. If the period of impurity, but not a whole
year, has elapsed, (he is purified in one night.)
41. After that time (he is purified) by a bath.
42. If his teacher or maternal grandfather has
died, (he is purified) in three nights.
43. Likewise, if sons other than a son of the
body have been born or have died, and if wives
who had another husband before have been de-
livered of a child or have died.
40. ‘ Although the general term impurity is used in this Sutra,
it refers to impurity caused by a death only.’ (Nand.)
42. ‘ The use of the particle Aa implies, that this rule extends
to the death of a maternal grandmother, as ordained in the Sha4a-
ntismnti.’ (Nand.)
43. The twelve kinds of sons have been enumerated above, XV,
2-27. Of these, the three species of adopted sons, the son bought,
and the son cast off cannot cause impurity, because their sonship
dates from a period subsequent to their birth; but their offspring
may cause impurity. (Nand.) Parapurvas, or 1 wives who had
another husband before,’ are either of the punarbhu or of the
svairiwt kind. (Nand.) See XV, 8, 9, and Narada XII, 46-54.
