the religious interests of my followers, should initiate all
desirous of obtaining salvation (in the use of the mantra of
K.rish.na).

129. They should cause each of their disciples to continue
steadfast in his own appointed duty. Honour should be paid to
holy men, and the sacred Sastras should be reverently repeated.

130. Worship of Lakshmi-Naraya.na, and other forms of K.rish.na
that have been set up and consecrated by me in the great temples,
should be performed with the proper ceremonies.

131. Any one who may come to the temple of K.rish.na to ask for
a gift of food (cooked or uncooked) should be received with
respect, and food given to him according to ability.

132. Having established a school for giving instruction, some
learned Brahman should be appointed over it. True knowledge
should be promoted throughout the world, for that is an act of
great merit.

133. The two wives of these (sons of my brothers), with the
permission of their respective husbands, should initiate females
only (eva) in the Mantra of K.rish.na.

134. They should never touch or speak to other males than their
nearest relations; nor should they ever show their faces to them.

135. My male followers who are householders should never touch
widows unless they are their own near relatives.
