This same ordinance is applied also to the impurity caused by the birth of sapiṇḍas, among sapiṇḍas and properly among sahodakas also. When a son is born, the father must bathe with his clothes on. And if, after one child has been born there, another should be born, the purification in that case also is prescribed according to the days of the elder-born child.

When ten or twelve months or half a month have elapsed, all the castes should duly perform their respective rites and ceremonies. Next the ekoddiṣṭa śrāddha should be performed for the departed person. And men of understanding must give gifts to the brāhmans; whatever is most desired in the world, and whatever is prized at home, those very things therefore must one who hopes for immortality give to a brahman endowed with good qualities: but at the end of the days, after they have touched water, a chariot, a weapon, a goad and a rod, and after they have performed the ceremonies, they should make the oblation[10] ordained by the laws of their respective castes, and perform all pure acts that confer bliss in the next world and in this.
