cow-dung; 19. Nor in a fold for cattle; 20. Nor
in the air; 21. Nor in water;
22. Nor facing the wind, or fire, or the moon, or
the sun, or a woman, or a (father or other) Guru, or
a Brahnwza;
23. Nor without having enveloped his head;
24. Having cleaned his hindparts with a clod of
earth, or with a brick, (or with wood or grass,) and
seizing his organ (with his left, after having re-
moved his garment), he must rise and clean himself
with water and earth (previously) fetched for the
purpose, so as to remove the smell and the filth.
25. The organ must once be cleaned with earth,
the hindparts three times, the one hand (the left) ten
times, both hands together seven times, and both
feet together three times.
26. Such is the purification ordained for house-
holders ; it is double for students ; treble for her-
mits ; and quadruple for ascetics.

1. 1 Literally ‘eat,’ adyat. In 16 and 17 the synonymous verbs
bhaksh and aj are used. Nevertheless it can hardly be doubted
that both of the two modes of cleaning the teeth, which appear
to have been customary, are indicated in this chapter: the one
consisting in brushing them with little sticks or twigs provided with
a brush (see 16), the other in chewing twigs. Unfortunately the
reading of Nand.’s gloss on the term sakur/ia in 16 is uncertain.
