This wouldbe considered a gross impropriety. They pour the water into theirmonths. The reason why they do these things is, because they considerthe saliva to be the most filthy secretion that comes from the body. Itis on this account that no one is ever permitted to spit within doors. The use of animal food they consider to be defiling. Not only will theynot eat animal food, but they will eat nothing that has the principle oflife in it. On this account, they cannot eat eggs of any kind. I wason...ce breaking an egg in my medicine-room at Panditeripo, while a Brahminwas present. He told me that, under such circumstances, he could notremain with me any longer. In his view, I was committing a great sin. Tokill an ox or a cow, is considered by them as a crime which can never beatoned for, and to eat their flesh is a defilement which can never bewashed away. To kill a cow is, by _Hindoo_ law, punishable with death. The touch of most animals, particularly that of the dog, defiles aBrahmin. Should a dog touch them, they would be obliged instantly toplunge into water, and wash their clothes, in order to get rid of such astain.
