“Nor should he wear red clothing, nor even variegated or black clothing: nor should he make a complete change of his clothing or in his ornaments. And transparent[8] raiment should be avoided, and also whatever is very much damaged, and whatever is infested with lice, or has been trampled on, or has been looked at by dogs, and has been licked or thrown down, or has been befouled by the extraction of pus.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa

“He should never eat flesh from the back, or flesh unfit for the gods and pitṛs, or prohibited flesh, my son, or things which are visibly salt. Pood that is long stale or that is not fresh must be avoided, my royal son, because of the changes that occur in flour, vegetables, sugarcane and milk; and meat long stale must be avoided, because of the change[9] that occurs in it.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
