A wise man must study the three Vedas, and must be continually occupied therein; he must amass riches righteously, and strenuously perform sacrifices; and he must fearlessly do whatever does not entail censure on the soul of him who does it, my son, and whatever ought not to be concealed in public. The good man that so does, my child, brings splendour to his home by acquiring righteousness wealth and love.

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.
