Mārkaṇḍeya said: Avoid that house wherein there is Svāhākāra[2] and Vaṣaṭkāra[3] and go elsewhere. Eschew from a distance the places where there is a loud chanting of the Sāman hymns and where people engrossed in repeating the Vedic hymns, devoted to their daily rituals and engaged in worshipping Vāsudeva are ever present.
