48. Let him not look at a naked woman wedded to another man.
49. Let him not draw a seat towards himself with his foot.
50. He shall keep his organ, his stomach, his hands, his feet, his tongue, and his eyes under due restraint.
51. Let him avoid to cut, to break, to scratch, and to crush (anything), or to make (his joints) crack, without a (sufficient) reason.
52. Let him not step over a rope (to which) a calf (is tied).
53. Let him not be a stay-at-home.
54. Let him not go to (perform) a sacrifice without being chosen (to officiate as priest).
55. But at his pleasure (he may go) to see it. 56. Let him not eat food (that he has placed) in his lap,
57. Nor what has been brought at night by a
servant.
58. He shall not eat (substances) from which the fat has been extracted, such as milk from which the cream has separated, butter, oil-cake, buttermilk, and the like.
48. Manu IV, 53.
50. Âpastamba II, 2, 5, 19; Manu IV, 175, 177.
51. Apastamba I, 11, 32, 28; II, 8, 20, 16. 52. Âpastamba I, 11, 31, 13. Haradatta remarks that the word 'calf' is used to designate any animal of the bovine species. 56. Manu IV, 63. 57. Âpastamba I, 5, 16, 32. 58. Âpastamba II, 8, 18, 1; II, 8, 20, 10. Haradatta adds that this rule has been inserted here instead of in the chapter on forbidden food in order to indicate that its breach must be expiated by the penance prescribed for a breach of the Snâtaka's vow, not by that prescribed for eating forbidden food.
