97/107 The offences of a pupil against a tutor, almost the holiest relation of life, are described in the Laws of Menu, ii. "By censuring his preceptor, though justly, he will be born an ass; by falsely defaming him, a dog; by using his goods without leave, a small worm; by envying his merit, a larger insect or reptile." As the Roman law did not contemplate the possibility of parricide, that of Menu has no provision against the crime in the text.] [Footnote 147: p.93.l.6. _--to the five elements returned_. A common Indian phrase for death. |
