The (eleven Anuv\u00e2kas called) Rudras together with (the ten hymns) seen by Madhukkhandas, the G\u00e2yatr\u00ee with the syllable Om, and likewise the seven Vy\u00e2hritis (are the texts) which should be muttered (and) which remove guilt. 1\n2. The Mrig\u00e2reshti, the Pavitreshti, the Trihavis, the P\u00e2vam\u00e2n\u00ee are the Ishtis which efface sin, if they are (each) combined with the Vaisv\u00e2nara (Dv\u00e2dasakap\u00e2la). 2\n3-4. Learn, also, the following most excellent secret; he will be freed from all sins of all kinds who sprinkles himself with water, reciting the Pavitras, who mutters the eleven (Anuv\u00e2kas called) Rudras, who offers burnt oblations of butter, reciting the Pavitras, and gives gold, a cow, and sesamum (to Br\u00e2hmanas).\n5. He who partakes of boiled barley-gruel, mixed with cow's urine, liquid cowdung, sour milk, milk, and butter, is quickly freed from sin. 5\n6. Both he who has begotten a child on a S\u00fbdra woman and he who has had connexion with a female, 6\nintercourse with whom is forbidden (agamy\u00e2), are purified (if they live) according to this rule during seven days.\n7. (That is likewise) the remedy when one has swallowed semen, ordure, and urine, or eaten the food of persons whose food must not be eaten, (and also) when a younger brother has kindled the sacred fire, has offered a Srauta sacrifice, or taken a wife before the elder. 7\n8. He who has committed even a great number of (wicked) actions, excepting mortal sins, will be freed (by that rule) from all guilt. That is the statement of the virtuous.\n9. But (this) ordinance, which is based on the authority of the sacred texts, is stated (to be that) through which Bharadv\u00e2ga and others became equal to Brahman,\n10. Through the performance of these rites a Br\u00e2hmana, whose heart is full of peace, obtains whatever desires he may have in his heart.\n328:1 6. The hymns are Rig-veda I, 1-10.\n328:2 Regarding the Mrig\u00e2reshti, see Taitt. Samhit\u00e2 IV, 7, 15. In explanation of the term Trihavis, Govinda adds the word Savaneshti.\n328:5 Y\u00e2vaka, translated, as usually, by barley-gruel, can also denote, as Govinda points out, other dishes made of barley.\n328:6 See above, II, 1, 2, 7, 10, 13-14.\n329:7 See above, II, 2, 1, 21, 39-40. I follow the reading of M. and of the commentary, pary\u00e2dh\u00e2negyayor etat parivitte ka bheshagam. The reading of the Dekhan MSS. is etat patite kaiva bhoganam, 'that food must be eaten and when one has become an outcast.'","title":"SBE 14: Baudh\u00e2yana: Prasna IV, Adhy\u00e2ya 6","type":"page"}
