Now (follow the duties) of a Sn\u00e2taka. 1\n2. He shall wear a lower garment and upper garment. 2\n3. Let him carry a staff made of bamboo,\n4. And a pot filled with water.\n5. Let him wear two sacrificial threads.\n6. (He shall possess) a turban, an upper garment (consisting of) a skin, shoes, and a parasol. (He shall keep) a sacred fire and (offer) the new and full moon (Sth\u00e2l\u00eep\u00e2kas). 6\n7. He shall cause the hair of his head, of his beard, and of his body, and his nails to be cut on the Parva days. 7\n8. His livelihood (he shall obtain in the following manner): 8\n9. Let him beg uncooked (food) from Br\u00e2hmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, or carpenters, 9\n10. Or (cooked) food (even from many). 10\n11. Let him remain silent (when he goes to beg).\n12. Let him perform with that all P\u00e2kayag\u00f1as, offered to the gods and manes, and the rites, securing welfare. 12\n13. Baudh\u00e2yana declares that by (following) this rule the most excellent sages reach the highest abode of Prag\u00e2pati Parameshthin. 13\n158:1 5. Regarding the term Sn\u00e2taka, see \u00c2pastamba I, 11, 30, 1-4. Govinda thinks that the following rules are intended to apply In the first instance to a student who has performed the Sam\u00e2vartana on completion of his studentship and lives unmarried at home. For though the Smriti declares it necessary for a student to enter, on completing his term, at once into one of the remaining three p. 159 orders, it may happen; as the commentator observes, that the Sn\u00e2taka's marriage cannot take place immediately. The correctness of this view is proved by \u00c2pastamba I, 2, 8, and by the fact that below, II, 3, 5, the rules for a married Sn\u00e2taka are given separately.\n159:2-5. Vasishtha XII, 14.\n159:6 \u00c2pastamba I, 2, 8, 2.\n159:7 Regarding the Parva days, see Vasishtha XII, 21 note.\n159:8 Vasishtha XII, 2-4. 'Though the Sn\u00e2taka is the subject of the discussion, the word \"his\" is used (in this S\u00fbtra) in order to introduce the remaining duties of a householder also.'--Govinda.\n159:9 The carpenter (rathak\u00e2ra) is a S\u00fbdra, but connected with the Vedic sacrifices.\n159:10 '\"Food\" (bhaiksham), i.e. a quantity of begged food. The meaning is that in times of distress he may beg from many.'--Govinda.\n159:12 With that, i.e. with the food obtained by begging. Regarding p. 160 the P\u00e2kayag\u00f1as, see Gautama VIII, 18. Govinda gives as an instance of the rites securing welfare (bh\u00fbtikarm\u00e2ni) the \u00e2yushyakaru, a rice-offering intended to procure long life.\n160:13 Govinda explains Baudh\u00e2yana by K\u00e2nv\u00e2yana, and adds that either the author speaks of himself in the third person or a pupil must have compiled the book.","title":"SBE 14: Baudh\u00e2yana: Prasna I, Adhy\u00e2ya 3, Kandik\u00e2 5","type":"page"}
