“Abandon the house of him, who eats only properly cooked food according to rule, who is pure within and without, who is free from covetousness, who governs his wife.[32] Abandon that house, O goblin, where the gods and the pitṛs are worshipped with their respective oblations, and where the female relatives and guests are honoured. And abandon that house also, where concord[33] dwells at home among the children, the aged, the women and men, and among the various classes of kinsmen. Abandon that house, O goblin, where the womenfolk are delighted, are not eager to go outside, and are always modest. Abandon that house, O goblin, at my commaud, where the bedding and viands are suited to the ages and relations of the inmates. Abandon that house, O goblin, where the inmates are always kind, and busied in good deeds, and possess the common household utensils. And thou must also ever abandon that house, O goblin, where the inmates do not keep their seats while the religious preceptors, the aged, and dvijas are standing and where they do not stand. That will not be an excellent abode for thee, where the house-door is not penetrated by trees, shrubs or other vegetation, nor by a man who pierces one’s vitals. Abandon the house of the man who supports the gods, the pitṛs, mankind and guests with the remnants of his food. Abandon, O goblin, such men as these, the true in word, the forbearing in disposition, the harmless, and those free from remorse, and also the unenvious. Abandon the woman, who is devoted to her husband’s service, who keeps aloof from associating with bad women, and who feeds on the food which has been left by her family and husband. Abandon the brahman dvija always, whose mind is engrossed with sacrifice, study, discipline and alms-giving, and who has made his livelihood by means of the performance of sacrifices, teaching, and receiving alms.[34] And abandon, O Duḥsaha, the kṣatriya who is always energetic in alms-giving, study, and sacrifice, and who earns his livelihood from good taxes and by the occupation of arms. Abandon the stainless vaiśya, who is endowed with the three previous virtues,[35] and who gains his livelihood from the keeping of cattle and trade and cultivation. Abandon also the śūdra, who is diligent in alms-giving, sacrifice and the service of dvijas, and who supports himself by menial service under brāhmans and other dvijas, O goblin.
