मातरं यदि वा गच्छेद्भगिनीं स्वसुतामपि । वधूं च मोहितो गच्छंस्त्रीणि कृच्छ्राण्यथाचरेत्
If one goes to his mother, sister, daughter, or is deluded and goes to his daughter-in-law, he should undertake three Kricchra penances.
चांद्रायणत्रयं कृत्वा दद्याद्गोमिथुनत्रयम् । सशिखं वपनं कृत्वा पंचगव्यं पिबेत्ततः
Having performed three Chandrayana vows, he should give three pairs of cattle; after shaving his head with the tuft, he should then drink Panchagavya.

He who, out of folly, goes to a cow should observe three fasts; by giving a cow and also food, he is purified—of this there is no doubt.
वेश्यां खरीं शूकरीं च कपिं तुं महिषीं द्विज । आकंठतः समाक्षिप्य गोमयोदककर्द्दमे
O twice-born, if one forcibly embraces a prostitute, a she-ass, a sow, a monkey, or a she-buffalo, up to the neck in a mixture of cow dung, water, and mud—
तत्र तिष्ठेन्निराहारो त्रिरात्रेणैव शुद्ध्यति । सशिखं वपनं कृत्वा त्रिरात्रमुपवासयेत्
There, remaining without food, he becomes purified in three nights; after shaving his head with the tuft, he should fast for three nights.
एकरात्रं जले स्थित्वा शुद्ध्यत्येव न संशयः । ब्राह्मणीं तु यदा गच्छेत्यो नरः काममोहितः
By standing in water for one night, he is certainly purified, without doubt. But if a man, overcome by desire, goes to a Brahmin woman—

If a man goes even once to a woman outside the castes or of low status, he should perform the Prajapatya Kricchra; he is certainly purified, without doubt.
अंगारसदृशी योषित्सर्पिः कुंभसमः पुमान् । तस्याः परिसरे ब्रह्मन्न स्थातव्यं कदाचन
A woman like burning charcoal, a man like a vessel of ghee—O Brahman, one should never remain in their vicinity.
जारेण जनयेद्गर्भं या च नारी कुलांतका । त्याज्या सा सर्वथा ब्रंह्मस्तत्र दोषो न विद्यते

When a woman, deluded, goes to another man, she should perform the prājāpatya penance and then drink the five products of the cow.
गोद्वयं तु ततो दद्याच्छुध्यत्येव न संशयः । ब्राह्मणी बालिशा ब्रह्मन्मोहिता परपूरुषम्
Afterwards, she should give two cows; she is purified, without doubt. O Brahman, a Brahmin woman, foolish and deluded, who goes to another man—
यदा गच्छेत्तदा त्याज्या जनैर्दोषो न विद्यते । यो गच्छेद्ब्राह्मणीं विप्र भूसुरः काममोहितः । गो तिलांश्च तदा दद्याच्छुद्ध्यत्यत्र न संशयः

शौनक उवाच। अज्ञानात्प्राश्य विण्मूत्रं सुरां संस्पृश्य वा पुनः । यथा शुद्धिर्भवेत्तेषां कथयामि शृणु द्विज
Śaunaka said: If someone unknowingly eats excrement or urine, or touches liquor again, I will tell you how purification is achieved for them; listen, O twice-born.
