**Trivarnika Achar:**
The characteristics of observation (anirīkṣaṇa) are the same for both a son and a daughter. The period of restriction (adhikāra) is thirty days. || 66 ||
In the case of a son's birth, the mother has a ten-day period of non-observation (anirīkṣaṇa sūtaka), meaning no one should look at her for ten days. She also has a twenty-day period of restriction (anadhikāra sūtaka), meaning she should not perform any household duties for twenty days from the day of delivery. Similarly, in the case of a daughter's birth, there is a ten-day period of non-observation (anirīkṣaṇa sūtaka) and a thirty-day period of restriction (anadhikāra sūtaka). || 65-66 ||
If the father engages in any kind of contact with the mother, such as staying in the same place, he also has a ten-day period of non-observation (anirīkṣaṇa sūtaka), meaning no one should look at him for ten days. If he stays with the mother but does not touch her, he has a ten-day period of untouchability (aspṛśya sūtaka), meaning no one should touch him for ten days. || 67 ||
A death sūtaka is purified by another death sūtaka, and a birth sūtaka is purified by another birth sūtaka. However, a birth sūtaka is not purified by a death sūtaka. Meaning: If a death sūtaka is followed by another death sūtaka, or a birth sūtaka is followed by another birth sūtaka, the second sūtaka is completed on the same day as the completion of the first sūtaka. If a birth sūtaka is followed by a death sūtaka, the birth sūtaka is also completed on the day the death sūtaka is completed. However, if a death sūtaka is followed by a birth sūtaka, the death sūtaka is not completed on the day the birth sūtaka is completed. || 68 ||
**Deshāntara Lakṣaṇa:**
The characteristics of a Deshāntara (different region): A Deshāntara is defined as a place where the language changes, a large river acts as a barrier, or a mountain range separates the regions. || 69 ||
A distance of thirty yojanas or more between two regions is also considered a Deshāntara. This sūtaka applies to sapinda (relatives up to the fourth generation) residing in a Deshāntara, based on the difference in regions. Meaning: If sapinda relatives up to the fourth generation reside in a Deshāntara, they are subject to this sūtaka due to the difference in regions, not their children. || 69-70 ||
If the parents die, even if the son is far away, he observes a ten-day period of mourning (daśarātraka) starting from the day he hears the news. || 71 ||
