Sūta said: One shall scrupulously avoid deception, stinginess in spending money, censure of others. In the presence of preceptors and elders one shall avoid laughter, haughtiness, sportive dalliance and wilfulness. One shall never contradict the preceptor; one shall never speak unbecoming words against him. One shall scrupulously avoid mentioning things disliked by the preceptor and shall not think evil of him. One shall never touch these things with one’s foot—the clothes, staff, etc., of ascetics, their sandals, garlands, places of sleep [i.e., bed-mattress etc.], vessel, shadow and the requisite things of use in sacrifices.
