IMP-URITY.
IOI
31. Lumps of sugar and other preparations from
the sugar-cane1, stored up in large quantities (ex-
ceeding a Dro/za) and kept in one’s own house 2, by
water and fire 3;
32. All sorts of salt, in the same manner;
33. Earthern vessels (if smeared with excrements
and the like), by a second burning;
34. Images of gods (if smeared), by cleansing
them in the same way as the material (of which
they are made is generally cleansed), and then
installing them anew (in their former place).
35. Of undressed grain let him remove so much
only as has been defiled, and the remainder let him
pound in a mortar and wash.
36. A quantity of prepared grain not exceeding a
Dro/za is not spoiled by being defiled (by dogs,
crows, and other unclean animals).
37. He must throw away thus much of it only as
has been defiled, and must sprinkle over the re-
mainder water, into which a piece of gold has been
dropped, and over which the Gayatri has been pro-
nounced, and must hold it up before a goat (or
before a horse) and before the fire.
31. 1 Such as raw sugar, candied sugar, &c. —2 If there is no
large quantity of them, they require to be sprinkled with water
only; and if they are kept elsewhere than in the house, as if they
are exposed for sale in a fair, they require no purification at all.—
3 They must be encircled with fire, and sprinkled with water
afterwards. (Nand.)
32. Nand, mentions as the main species of salt, rock-salt, sea-
salt, sochal-salt, and Nambhala-salt. The last term refers perhaps
to salt coming from the famous salt-lake of Nakambhari or Shambar
in Ragputana.
37. ‘A quantity less than a Dro/za having been defiled must be
thrown away, as stated by Para^ara.’ (Nand.) One Drozza —4
AA^akas —1024 Mush/is or handfuls. The meaning of AAkaka,
IMP-URITY.
