V, 11

KHANDA 11.

1. If an anthill arises in his house, the house should be abandoned.

2 2. Then, after having fasted three nights (and days), he should perform the great expiation.

Here ends the Fifth Adhyâya.

Footnotes
  1. 140:2

    11, 2. Nârâyana understands the 'great expiation' as a rite directed to Ganesa and to the planets (comp. Yâgñavalkya I, 276 seq., 292, &c.); that this ceremony was known already to the author of this Sûtra seems very doubtful. Another 'mahâsânti' is frequently mentioned in the Kausika-sûtra (quoted in Böhtlingk-Roth's Dictionary); comp. my German edition of Sâṅkhâyana, p. 159.
