After ejecting any matter from the throat or spitting, one should wash his mouth before he can become pure. A kinsman who happens to be old, or a friend who happens to be poor, should be accommodated in one's house and his comforts looked after as if he were a member of the family. By doing this, one succeeds in winning both fame and longevity. To keep pigeons as also parrots both male and female, in one's house is highly blessed.
तथा क्षुत्त्वा स्पृश्यापो हि शुचिर्भवेत्॥ वृद्धो ज्ञातिस्तथा मित्रं दरिद्रो यो भवेदपि। गृहे वासयितव्यास्ते धन्यमायुष्यमेव च॥ गृहे पारावता धन्याः शुकाश्च सहसारिकाः।
