लोष्ठमर्दी तृणच्छेदी नखखादी च यो नरः । स विनाशं व्रजत्याशु सूचकाऽशुचिरेव च ॥ ७१ ॥
A man who crushes clods, tears off grass, or bites his nails, goes soon to perdition, likewise an informer and he who neglects (the rules of) purification.
english translation
न विगर्ह्य कथां कुर्याद् बहिर्माल्यं न धारयेत् । गवां च यानं पृष्ठेन सर्वथैव विगर्हितम् ॥ ७२ ॥
Let him not wrangle; let him not wear a garland over (his hair). To ride on the back of cows (or of oxen) is anyhow a blamable act.

अद्वारेण च नातीयाद् ग्रामं वा वेश्म वाऽवृतम् । रात्रौ च वृक्षमूलानि दूरतः परिवर्जयेत् ॥ ७३ ॥
Let him not enter a walled village or house except by the gate, and by night let him keep at a long distance from the roots of trees.

Let him never play with dice, nor himself take off his shoes; let him not eat, lying on a bed, nor what has been placed in his hand or on a seat.
english translation
सर्वं च तिलसम्बद्धं नाद्यादस्तमिते रवौ । न च नग्नः शयीतैह न चोच्छिष्टः क्व चिद् व्रजेत् ॥ ७५ ॥
Let him not eat after sunset any (food) containing sesamum grains; let him never sleep naked, nor go anywhere unpurified (after meals).
