83. He must take care not to revile a god, a
Brahmazza, the -Sastras, or the high-minded (7?zshis).
84. And (he must avoid) gain and pleasure re-
pugnant to duty.
85. (He must avoid) even lawful acts which may
give offence to mankind.
86. On the days of new and full moon let him
make a propitiatory offering.
87. He must not cut even grass (on those two
days).
88. He must adorn himself (with garlands, sandal,
and the like).
89. Thus he must observe established customs.
90. Those customs, which have been explicitly
ordained in revealed and in traditional texts, and
which are practised by the virtuous, must always be
observed by a righteous man with subdued passions.
91. By adhering to established usage he attains
to old age ; this is the way to obtain that state in
the next life which he desires, and imperishable
riches, this is the way to destroy the effect of
(bodily) marks foreboding future misfortunes.
92. He who observes the usages established
among the virtuous, who is a believer in revelation,
and free from ill-will, lives a hundred years, even
84. ‘“Or repugnant to the final liberation,” as the use of the
particle 4a implies.’ (Nand.) See Manu VI, 37.
85. The use of the particle 4a, Nand. argues from Manu IV, 176,
implies that acts which may cause future pain should also be
avoided.
88. The use of the particle 4a, according to Nand., implies that
he must also observe auspicious rites and established customs, as
ordained by Manu IV, 145. The latter injunction is, however,
expressly given in the next Sutra.
