One should not gaze at urine or faeces, or tread on it or touch it with one's feet. One should not see out on a journey at early dawn, or at midday, or in the evening twilight, or with a companion that is unknown, or with a Shudra, or alone. While passing along a road, one should standing aside, always give way to a Brahmana, to kine, to kings, to an old man, to one that is loaded with a burthen, to a woman big with child, or to one that is weak. When one meets a large tree that is known, one should walk round it. One should also, when coming upon the crossing of four roads, walk round it before pursuing his journey. At midday, or at midnight, or at night in general, or at the two twilight's, one should not proceed the crossings of the four roads. One should never wear sandals or clothes that have been worn by another.
पुरीषमूत्रे नोदीक्षेन्नाधितिष्ठेत् कदाचन। नातिकल्यं नातिसायं न च मध्यन्दिने स्थिते॥ नाज्ञातैः सह गच्छेत नैको न वृषलैः सह। पन्था देयो ब्राह्मणाय गोभ्यो राजभ्य एव च॥ वृद्धाय भारतप्ताय गर्भिण्यै दुर्बलाय च। प्रदक्षिणं च कुर्वीत परिज्ञातान् वनस्पतीन्॥ चतुष्पथान् प्रकुर्वीत सर्वानेव प्रदक्षिणान्। मध्यन्दिने निशाकाले अर्धरात्रे च सर्वदा॥ चतुष्पथं न सेवेत उभे संध्ये तथैव च। उपानही च वस्त्रं च धृतमन्यैर्न धारयेत्॥
