6. Let him wear a skin or a tattered garment; let
him bathe in the evening or in the morning; and let him always wear (his hair
in) braids, the hair on his body, his beard, and his nails (being unclipped).
7. Let him perform the Bali-firing with such food as he eats, and give alms according to his ability; let him honour those who come to his hermitage with alms consisting of water, roots, and fruit. 8. Let him be always industrious in privately reciting the Veda; let him be patient of hardships, friendly (towards all), of collected mind, ever liberal and never a receiver of gifts, and compassionate towards all living creatures. 9. Let him fire, according to the law, the Agnihotra with three sacred fires, never omitting the new-moon and full-moon sacrifices at the proper time. 10. Let him also fire the Nakshatreshti, the Agrayana, and the Katurmasya (sacrifices), as well as the Turayana and likewise the Dakshayana, in due order.
