Viṣṇu Dh S (chap 36) speaks of certain sins as *anupātakas* which are declared by Manu (XI 55–58) and Yāj (III. 228–233) to be equal to or like one or other of the mahāpātakas and provides that those guilty of them become pure by Aśvamedha sacrifice or by resorting to pilgrimages It has also been seen that such sins are removed by the penances that are slightly less (i. e. by ¼th) than those for the mahāpātakas themselves
