GRIHYA-SOTRA OF GOBHILA.
21. On that day he should not go away (from his house on a journey, &c.);
22. Even from a distant place he should return to his house.
23. (On that day) he may buy goods from others, but not sell (such goods).
24. Let him not speak much. 25. Let him strive to speak the truth.
26. In the afternoon husband and wife, after having bathed, should eat fast-day food which is pleasant to them. It should contain butter (and should be prepared) in the due way.
KÂNDIKÂ 6. 1. Thus has spoken Mânatantavya : Unoffered indeed becomes the offering of a man who does not eat fast-day food.
