This is the sacrifice to be performed daily by a religious student. 5. And (the teacher) shall not give him anything that is forbidden by the revealed texts, (not even as) leavings, 6. Such as pungent condiments, salt, honey, or meat (and the like). 7. By this (last Sūtra it is) explained (that) the other restrictions (imposed upon a student, such as abstinence from perfumes, ointments, &c., are likewise not to be broken). 8.

He shall not go to fetch firewood after sunset. 16. After having kindled the fire, and having swept the ground around (the altar), he shall place the sacred fuel on the fire every morning and evening, according to the prescription (of the Gṛhya-sūtra). 17. Some say that the fire is only to be worshipped in the evening. 18. He shall sweep the place around the fire after it has been made to burn (by the addition of fuel), with his hand, and not with the broom (of Kuśa grass).
