| b1+ | ... the very best in knowledge... |
| b3+ | A person who, having wrapped a putrid fish with tips of Kuśā-gras..., the blades of Kuśā-gras also smell putrid. |
| b4+ | Thus, not honoring evil ones... |
| b6 | A person who, having wrapped tagara-powder in palāśa-leaves, ... and binds it, the leaves also (become) well-smelling. |
| b7+ | Even doing no evil, (one who) cherishes (evil)-doers becomes suspected of evil. |
