6. When he has vomited, or when his beard has been shaved,
7. When he has eaten flesh or partaken of a Srâddha or birth dinner,
8. During the days that immediately follow on (days of) study in the village,

2, 2. It seems to me that this Sutra should be divided into two (after sakvaryah), so that the words iti niyamâh would correspond to iti bhâshikam, chap. 2, 13.
3. Comp. II, 12, 11. Perhaps the Petersburg Dictionary is right in proposing for prâggyotisham the translation, vor Anbruch des Lichtes. Nârâyana says, prâk purastât gyotir yasmin tam... . pradesam.
