Let him not step over a rope to which a calf is tied, let him not run when it rains, and let him not look at his own image in water, that is a settled rule.

Let him not wrangle, let him not wear a garland over ,his hair . To ride on the back of cows ,or of oxen is anyhow a blamable act.

Let him not scratch his head with both hands joined, let him not touch it while he is impure, nor bathe without ,submerging it.

All calamities and vices, afterwards, when he has fully considered their relative importance, let him begin his operations.

Let him not eat, dressed with one garment only, let him not bathe naked, let him not void urine on a road, on ashes, or in a cow pen.

The morning sun, the smoke rising from a ,burning corpse, and a broken seat must be avoided. Let him not clip his nails or hair, and not tear his nails with his teeth.
