Holding in his hand a yak-tail and an earthen pot, a sinner should go about, giving a publicity to his sin. He should every day beg of only seven families, and live upon what may thus be got. By doing this for twelve days he may be purified of his sin. He who cannot hold in his hand the yak-tail while practising this vow should become a mendicant (as stated above) for one whole year.
परिधायोर्ध्ववालं तु पात्रमादाय मृन्मयम्। चरेत् सप्तगृहान्नित्यं स्वकर्म परिकीर्तयन्।॥ तत्रैव लब्धभोजी स्याद् द्वादशाहात्स शुद्ध्यति। चरेत् संवत्सरं चापि तद् व्रतं येन कृन्तति॥
