The cleaning process given in the previous verse is for a house-holder. It is doubled for a brahmachari (unmarried celibant). It is thrice for a Vanaprastha, the third ashrama when the person retires to a forest. It is four times for the asetic. Only by a holy bath the woman should wash away the ointment, sandal paste and the like. Shudras and those that observe some view like the brahmacharins, urchins, uneducated or ignorant rusties should follow the same procedure. The body should not be given away into the waters after death. There are crores of tirthas (holy rivers).
