CHAPTER XXXVIII, 4-13.

purified hand, not thoroughly washed, carrying them forth. 10. About the preservation of the cookingpot, and the rest of one's operations with the fire, from defilement; but when, through want of care, defilement occurs, by the inexperience of any one bringing it to the fire, he who is careless is thereby contaminated, and the cooking-pot is properly placed in its position.
11. Arranging about properly-made bed-places (gâsvarako) in a house, those for children and those for adults; also a decision about a case when a carpenter (dargar) shall make a bed-place properly which one's own judgment considers improperly made, and when both consider it improperly, or when both consider it properly made ; and more of whatever is on the same subject.
12. About what is the mode of producing seeing properly; and, when not seeing properly, the oculist (did pân) to intrust with it is he who informs people, who wish for it, how to extract the defect of sight; if not, the people go on and hurt; also the penalty for hurting, and whatever is on the same subject.
13. About the insubordination of those accustomed to work (kâr-khagarân) to women and children ; also that of a grown-up man who has been giving no food' three times in succession; he, too, it is who advanced the fourth time, because, owing to giving no food a fourth time, the man is he who has to accomplish work unrestrictedly; and whatever is on the same subject.
See Chap. XVII, 6. * This passage appears to refer to that quoted in Farh. Oîm, p. 38, II. 8, 9; though the latter part of Chap. XLI, 19 is more applicable to II. 4-8 of the same page.
