CRIMES.

1 O
1 00

stealing the gold of a Brahmazza, and sexual connec-
tion with a Guru’s wife are high crimes.
2. And social intercourse with such (criminals is
also a high crime).
3. He who associates with an outcast is out-
casted himself after a year ;
4. And so is he who rides in the same carriage
with him, or who eats in his company, or who sits
on the same bench, or who lies on the same couch
with him.
5. Sexual intercourse, intercourse in sacrificing,
and intercourse by the mouth (with an outcast)
entails immediate loss of caste.
6. Such mortal sinners are purified by a horse-
sacrifice and by visiting all Tirthas (places of pil-
grimage) on earth.

XXXVI.
1. Killing a Kshatriya or Vakya engaged in a
sacrifice, or a woman in her courses, or a pregnant
woman, or a woman (of the Brahmazza. caste) who has
bathed after temporary uncleanness or an embryo
5. ‘Intercourse of marriage’means sexual connection with an
outcasted man or woman, or giving a damsel in marriage to an
outcasted man, ‘ Intercourse in sacrificing’ means sacrificing for,,
or with, an outcast. ‘ Monthly intercourse ’ means teaching, or
being taught by, or studying together with, an outcast. The
present rule holds good in cases of voluntary intercourse only; if
the intercourse was involuntary, the loss of caste does not follow
till after a year. Others assert that the immediate loss of caste
is entailed by particularly intimate intercourse only. (Nand.)
