c5.67

Even now a Yogī with mutilated ears cannot face the world. He must flee from his brethren; he must never be seen again; he is excommunicated; no tomb is erected over his body when he dies;¹ others will not associate with him; and he is not allowed to share in religious ceremonies and he loses his *pūjārī* rights.
