Sūta said: If the fact of death is known before seven years[6] the pollution is for three days and beyond that for the brahmins, it is for ten days. The pollution due to birth is for the first day in the case of the father. O sages, in the case of the mother it is for ten days. If the fact is known after three years,[7] the purity is attained by bath by the father as well as by kinsmen.
