snāyīta celavān prājñaḥ kaṭabhūmimupetya ca /
devavedadvijātīnāṃ sādhusatyamahātmanām //
“After shaving, and vomiting and sexual intercourse, my son, the wise man should resort to the place where bodies are burnt[12] and should bathe, keeping his clothes on.
“One should not revile or ridicule the gods, the Vedas, or dvijas, good, truthful or magnanimous men, a guru, or devoted and virtuous wives, or persons who are sacrificing or performing austerities, my son. One should never listen to those unmannerly persons who do such things.
