If a Brdhman drinks water contained in a Chdndala's jar, provided he throws it up then and there, he will have to observe the prajdpatya penance.
30 INSTITUTES OF PAEA'SAEA.
28. But if he fails to throw the water up, and if it is assimilated into his body, let the penance prescribed be not prajapatya but krichchhra sdntapana.
29. A Brahman in the above case should perform a santapana ; a member of the next inferior caste has to per- form a pfSjapatya ; the penance for a Vaisya is half of the sa...me ; while for the S'udra a quarter penance is pre- scribed.
30 — 31. If a Brahman, a Kshatriya, a Vaisya, or a S'udra, should by inadvertence drink water, or curd, or milk con- tained in the vessel of the lowest castes ; — then the rege- nerates are purified by Brahmakrchra and a fast ; a S'lidra by a fast and by making gifts, so far as his ability extends.
[Madhava cites a verse mentioning the following seven as the ' lowest castes ', or ' antyaja ', as they are called : — the washerman, the worker in leather, the actor, the Varuda (probably the betel- grower), the fisherman, the Meda, and the Bheel.] 32.
