However, if the saliva of a dog falls in a utensil it is not necessary for its purification to rub it with dust. 152. If the opening of a utensil in which a dog has put its mouth is narrow dust should be thrown into it and after adding some quantity of water severe jolts should be given to the utensil so that the dust may reach everywhere in it. Thereafter the utensil should be washed in the manner mentioned above. 153.

A utensil which is licked by a pig or from which it drinks something liquid or in which a field-mouse has died should be washed with under-Kurr, Kurr or running water seven times and it is not necessary to rub it with dust. 154. A utensil which becomes impure on account of wine should be washed thrice and it does not matter whether the water used is Kurr-water, under-Kurr water or running water. 155.

If a jug, which has been made of impure clay or in which impure water has penetrated, is put into Kurr-water or running water those of its places, where the water reaches become pure. And if it is desired that its interior should also become pure It should be left in Kurr-water or running water for such a long time that the water penetrates into its entire structure.

And if the utensil contains moisture which prevents the water from reaching its inner parts that moisture should be dried and there- after it should be put in Kurr-water or running water. 156. A utensil can be washed with under-Kurr water in two ways: (i) The utensil should be filled with water and emptied and this act should be repeated thrice.

(ii) Water should be put in the utensil in appropriate quantity and the utensil should be jerked so that the water reaches all the impure parts and then the water should be poured out. This act should be performed thrice. 157. If a big utensil like cauldron or jar becomes impure it becomes pure if it is filled with water thrice and emptied every time.

And the position is the same if water is thrown into it thrice from above in such a way that it reaches all its sides and the water which gathers at the bottom every time is taken out and it is necessary that on the second and third occasion the utensil with which the water is taken out is washed and purified with water. 158. If impure copper and other things like it are melted and washed with water their exterior becomes pure. 159.
