do not be extremely straight and simple; (if you) go to forests (you would) see -
it is the straight trees which get chopped down, while crooked ones are left alone

never ever touch these by your feet (thereby insulting them): fire, guru, brAhmaNa-s,
also nor the cows and virgin girls, elderly and the infants
