preceptor, a god or a king. Never betray a trust or violate
confidence. Never praise yourself with your own lips.

38. The clothing of my followers should not be of such an
improper kind that, when put on, the limbs are exposed to view.

39. The worship of K.rish.na must not be performed without
attending to religious duties. Adoration of K.rish.na should not
be abandoned through fear of the reproaches of ignorant people.

40. On religious festivals and on ordinary days, the males and
females that go to K.rish.na's temple should keep separate and
not touch each other.

41. Those twice-born persons who have received initiation into
the worship of K.rish.na from a duly qualified religious teacher
should always wear on their necks two rosaries made of Tulsi wood
(one for Radha and another for K.rish.na), and should make an
upright mark on their foreheads.

42. This mark should be made with Gopi-candana (__i.e.__ white
earth from Dvarika), or with sandal which is left from that
employed in the worship of Hari (K.rish.na), and mixed with
saffron.

43. Within this (erect mark) there ought to be made a round
(v.ritta) mark with the materials (or earth) used for the
Pu.n.dra, or with saffron which has served for the Prasada of
Radha and K.rish.na (that is, with a portion left from that
employed in their worship).
