Purity arid Conduct of Life1 - Verse 8-9

An intelligent Yogin should go out (for alms) when the fires (in the kitchen) have become smokeless3 and have been pata yogins. The term ‘ Saucacara ’ corresponds to ‘Sadacara* in Dharma Sastra. These are usages practised by one’s ancestors ( Manu) or by Sitfas under the belief that they are part of Dharma (Kumarila). Some of the rules (as noted below) are adopted from those prescribed for samnyasins. Some of the verses are adapted from Smrtis.
