Sloka 12.—Or, it may be performed on the sea-shore
which is overcrowded with ships that have arrived safely
being laden with costly things, and whose fringes are
variegated with white birds and fishes and the like lurk-
ing in the thick bushes of the Nichula trees.

Sloka 13.—Or, it may be done in hermitages, where
a lion is subdued by a female deer, as anger by forgive-
ness and where the young ones of birds and the deer
roam about without any fear.

Sloka 15.—Or, it may be done in holy temples,
rivers (Tirthas), attractive regions of gardens, in a place
where the earth slopes down towards the east or the
north, or where the water flows from left to right.

गृहे रम्ये विविक्ते वा पुष्यस्नानं समाचरेत् ॥
