(49) Brahmans should forfeit their caste, if they have intercourse with other Brahman women besides their wives. (50) The consecration of evil spirits should be avoided. (Otherwise said to be that worship of ancestors should not be done in temples.) (51) Sudras and others are not to touch an idol. (52) Anything offered to one god should not be offered to another. (53) Marriage etc., should not be done without a burnt offering (homam). (54) Brahmans should not give blessings to each other. (55) They should not bow down to one another.
