## Trivarnika Achar
**169-170** Do not trust animals that strike with their claws, rivers, horned animals, men who carry weapons, women, kings, thieves, adulterers, wicked people, slanderers, greedy people, drunkards, deceivers, and sinners.
**171** Do not walk through the midst of revered people. Do not ask questions without a purpose. If you have come from a foreign country, bathe and purify yourself before entering your home.
**172** At the beginning of a scripture or any other work, say "Om Namah Siddham" with humility.
**173** While enjoying worldly pleasures, keep your mind on the pleasures of the afterlife. Just as a child drinks from one breast of his mother while holding the other with his hand, so too should humans keep their minds on both worldly and otherworldly pleasures.
**174** While following worldly conduct, do not forget your Dharma. Perform Sandhyavandana and light a lamp in your home in the evening.
**175** From sunset to sunrise, if a lamp burns in a house, poverty will never enter it.
**176** A lamp facing east increases lifespan, facing north increases wealth, facing west brings sorrow, and facing south brings loss.
