History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v2.c24.s1.476

v2.c24.s1.476

⁹³⁴ तस्य वा एतस्य यज्ञस्य द्वावनध्यायौ यदात्माशुचिर्यद्देशः । तै. आ. II. 15. This is quoted by आश्व. गृ. III. 4. 7 'विज्ञायते तस्य द्वावनध्यायौ यदात्माशुचिर्यद्देशः'. Manu IV. 127 conveys the same sense in almost the same words. A man may be impure on account of births or deaths in his family or on account of *mala* (dirt on his body) and a place may be so because it is in contact with some impure thing (such as उच्छिष्ट).
