16. The right foot with his right hand, and the left foot with his left.
17. After the salutation (abhivadaye, ' I salute') he must mention his own name and add the word bhos' (Venerable Sir) at the end of his address.
18. He must not speak to his Guru while he is himself standing, or sitting, or lying, or eating, or averting his face.
19. And let him speak, if his teacher sits, standing up; if he walks, advancing towards him; if he is coming near, meeting him; if he runs, running after
him ;
20. If his face is averted, turning round so as to face him;
21. If he is at some distance, approaching him;
22. If he is in a reclining position, bending to him;
23. Let him not sit in a careless attitude (such as e. g. having a cloth tied round his legs and knees, while sitting on his hams) before the eyes of his teacher.
24. Neither must he pronounce his mere name (without adding to it the word Sri or a similar term at the beginning).
25. He must not mimic his gait, his manner, his speech, and so on.
26. Where his Guru is censured or foully belied, there let him not stay.
27. Nor must he sit on the same seat with him,
28. Unless it be on a rock?, on a wooden bench, in a boat, or in a carriage.
28. Thus according to Kullûka (on M. II, 204). Nand. takes the term sîlaphalaka as a compound denoting a stone seat.'
