**External Duties of Studentship.** The first condition, of course, was that the student had to live in the house of his teacher. Even the *Atharvaveda* [vii, 109, 7] refers to this condition in the phrase "if we have dwelt in studentship" (*brahmacharyaṁ yadūshima*). It is also referred to in the *Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa* [xi, 3, 3, 2] as also in the *Aitareya*¹ [v, 14] and *Taittirīya*² *Brāhmaṇas* [iii, 7, 6, 3]. The *Chhāndogya Upanishad* applies to the student the epithets *āchārya-kula-vāsin* [ii, 23, 2] and *antevāsin* [iii, 11, 5; iv, 10, 1]. The latter epithet is also used in *Bṛihadāraṇyaka* [vi, 3, 7] and *Taittirīya Upanishads* [i, 3, 3; 11, 1].
