I, 3, 10.
THE STUDY OF THE VEDA.
22. After having vomited (he shall not study) until he has slept.
23. Or (he may study) having eaten clarified butter (after the attack of vomiting).
24. A foul smell (is a reason for the discontinuance of study).
25. Food turned sour (by fermentation), which he has in his stomach, (is a reason for the discontinuance of the recitation, until the sour rising ceases).
26. (Nor shall he study) after having eaten in the evening,
27. Nor as long as his hands are wet.
28. (And he shall discontinue studying) for a day and an evening, after having eaten food prepared in honour of a dead person (for whom the Sapindikarana has not yet been performed),
29. Or until the food (eaten on that occasion) is digested.
30. But he shall (always) eat in addition (to the meal given in honour of a dead person), food which has not been given at a sacrifice to the Manes.
22. Manu IV, 121. 24. Manu IV, 107; Yâgñ. I, 150. 25. Manu IV, 121.
26. Therefore he shall sup, after having finished his study.' - Haradatta.
27. Manu IV, 121; Yâgñ. I, 149. 28. Manu IV, 112; Yâgñ. I, 146.
29. If that food has not been digested by the end of that time (i.e. in the evening), he shall not study until it has been digested.'-Haradatta.
30. Because in this Satra the expression “food not given at a Srâddha" occurs, some think that the preceding Sätra refers to "food eaten at a Sraddha."'-Haradatta. This explanation is not at all improbable.
