STUDENTSHIP.

20. Nor after having been purged ;
21. Nor during an indigestion.
22. When a five-toed animal has passed between
the teacher and the pupil (the latter must interrupt
his study for a day and a night).
23. When a king or a learned Brahmazza (who
has mastered one Veda), or a cow, or a Brahmazza
(in general) has met with an accident (he must not
study).
24. After the Upakarman (he must not study for
three days).
25. And after the Utsarga (he must interrupt his
study for as many days).
26. And (he must avoid to study) the hymns of
the Azg-veda, or those of the Ya^ur-veda, while the
Saman melodies are being chanted.
27. Let him not lie down to sleep again when he
has begun to study in the second half of the night.
28. Let him avoid studying at times when there
ought to be an intermission of study, even though a
question has been put to him (by his teacher);
his study for a day and a night; when suffering from indigestion,
till he has digested his food. (Nand.)
22. According to Nand., the interruption of study is to last for
two days, when a crow, or an owl, or a wild cock, or a mouse, or a
frog, and the like animals have passed; and for three days, when
a dog, or an ichneumon, or a snake, or a frog (sic), or a cat has
passed. He quotes Gaut. I, 59 in support of his interpretation.
I have translated according to M. IV, 126 ; Y. I, 147.
23. In these cases the study shall not be taken up again till the
accident has been appeased by propitiatory rites. If any of the
persons in question has died, the interruption is to last for a day
and a night, in case they were persons of little merit; but in case
they should have been very virtuous, it is to last for three days.
(Nand.)
28. Every lesson consists of questions put by the teacher and
the pupil’s answers to them.
