a MlcA^a (barbarian).
77. If the lower part of his body, below the
navel, or one of his fore-arms, has been defiled by
one of the impure excretions of the body, or by one
of the spirituous liquors or of the intoxicating drinks
(hereafter mentioned), he is purified by cleansing
the limb in question with earth and water.
78. If another part of his body (above the navel)
has been defiled, (he becomes pure by cleansing it)

term Madhuka as denoting an extract from Madhuka blossoms
(bassia latifolia), and Madhvi and Madhvika as two different pre-
parations from Madhu. Now Madhu might be rendered by ‘ honey; ’
