यत्र ब्राह्मणम् आहित अग्निं दग्धं दह्यमानं वा पश्येत् तत्र त्रि रात्र उपोषितः पुष्येण स्वयं मृतस्य वाससा प्रसेवं कृत्वा चिता भस्मना पूरयित्वा तम् आबध्य नष्टच् छाया रूपश् चरति ॥
Wherever one may happen to see the corpse, burnt or being burnt, of a Brāhman who maintained a sacrificial fire while alive, there one should fast for three nights. Then, one should make a bag out of the garment of the deceased, fill it with the ashes of the pyre, tie it up, and walk about as a phantom -like figure.
