9. Sacrificial pots, ordinary wooden ladles, and
wooden ladles with two collateral excavations (used
for pouring clarified butter on a sacrificial fire) are
cleansed with hot water (when not smeared).
10. Vessels used for oblations (of butter, fruits,
and the like are cleansed) by rubbing them with
the hand (with blades of Ku5a grass) at the time of
the sacrifice.
11. Sword-shaped pieces of wood for stirring the
boiled rice, winnowing baskets, implements used for
preparing grain, pestles and mortars (are cleansed)

even by the touch of a Sudra)
13. Likewise, a large quantity (of anything).
14. Grain, skins (of antelopes, &c.), ropes, woven
cloth, (fans and the like) made of bamboo, thread,
cotton, and clothes (which have only just come from
the manufactory, or which are dyed with saffron and
will not admit of washing for that reason, are
cleansed in the same way, when there is a large
quantity of them);
15. Also, pot-herbs, roots, fruits, and flowers;
16. Likewise, grass, firewood, dry cow-dung (used
as fuel), and leaves (of the Madhuka, Palasa, or
other trees).

of the German Oriental Society, IX, LXXVIII-LXXX.

13. ‘I.e. more than one man can carry, as Baudhayana says.’
(Nand.)
14. The use of the particle &a implies that resin and other objects
