In view or the injunctions or the Veda, the Tonsure-ceremony of all twice-born children should be performed, according to law, in the first year or the third.鈥�(35)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

鈥�颁奴岣嵞�鈥� is the tuft of hair on the crown of the bead鈥�; and the ceremony for the purpose of this is called 鈥�颁奴岣嵞�karman,鈥� 鈥�Tonsure鈥�; this name 鈥楾onsure鈥� is given to that ceremony which consists in the cutting of the hair in such a manner as to leave well-arranged tufts of hair on certain parts of the head.

This may be done 鈥�in the first year or the third鈥�;鈥攖his option being due to considerations of the good and evil aspects of planets.

鈥�In view of the injunctions of the Veda鈥�:鈥攖his is merely explanatory: the fact of the entire contents of the work being based upon the Veda having been already stated before. Or, the term may he taken here as not necessarily standing for the injunctive texts, but including the Mantras also; and as a matter of fact, we have the mantra, 鈥�yatk峁�ure峁嘺 m膩rjayet, etc.,鈥� (笔腻谤补蝉办补谤补-驳峁沨测补蝉奴迟谤补, 2.1.1), which is indicative of the Tonsure-ceremony, in the same manner as the Mantra 鈥�y膩帽jan膩 pratinandanti, etc.,鈥� (笔腻谤补蝉办补谤补,鈥�3.2.2) indicates the 础峁ａ弓补办腻-谤颈迟别蝉. So that what the phrase means is that the ceremony should be performed with mantras. As to the particular details (regarding the mantras, etc.), these are learnt from the 骋峁泍丑补蝉奴迟谤补.

From this it follows that this sacrament is not to he done for the 艢奴诲谤补; which is also clear from the mention of the 鈥�twice-born.鈥� As for the shaving of hair without any restriction as to time, this is done for special purposes, and may he done for the 艢奴诲谤补 also: this is not interdicted.鈥�(35)

 

Explanatory notes by Ganganath Jha

鈥�顿丑补谤尘补迟补岣�鈥欌�斺�榓ccording to Law鈥� (N膩r膩ya峁嘺 and Nandana);鈥斺�榝or the sake of spiritual merit鈥� (Kull奴ka).

This verse has been quoted in 笔补谤腻艣补谤补尘腻诲丑补惫补 (Sa峁僺k膩ra, p. 605) for the purpose of showing that even a boy who has not cut his teeth can be 鈥榦ne who has had Ids Tonsure performed.鈥�

It is quoted in 厂尘峁泃颈-迟补迟迟惫补 (p. 653)鈥攚hich points out that the time most suited for the ceremony is the third, not the first year and it bases this on the distinct declaration by 艢补峁卥丑补 that鈥斺�榝or the rite of Tonsure, the third year is what has been accepted by all the G峁沨yas奴tras.鈥� It also quotes it on p. 922, with a view to show that the time for the ceremony is not fixed, there being an option as to its being done in the first, third, or even the fifth year.

It is quoted in 痴墨谤补尘颈迟谤辞诲补测补 (Sa峁僺k膩ra, p. 296), where it is explained that the presence of the particle 鈥榲膩,鈥� 鈥榦r鈥�, implies that the rite may be performed in the second year also; this latter is also sanctioned by a text from Yama.

惭补诲补苍补辫腻谤颈箩腻迟补 (p. 34) also quotes it without adding any explanatory notes.鈥擨t is quoted in 厂尘峁泃颈肠补苍诲谤颈办腻 (Sa峁僺k膩ra, p. 58);鈥攊n 贬别尘腻诲谤颈 (Pari艣e峁�a, p. 742);鈥攊n 厂补峁僺办腻谤补尘补测奴办丑补 (pp. 29 and 128), which quotes Medh膩tithi to the effect that the term 鈥�诲惫颈箩腻迟墨苍腻尘鈥� indicates that this rite is not to be performed for the Shudra.;鈥攊n 狈峁泂颈峁僪补辫谤补蝉腻诲补 (Sa峁僺k膩ra, p. 36c); and in 骋补诲腻诲丑补谤补辫补诲诲丑补迟颈 (K膩las膩ra, p. 219).

Medh膩tithi has described this ceremony as that 鈥榳hich consists in the cutting of the hair in such a manner as to leave well-arranged tufts of hair on certain parts of the head.鈥�

Further details have heen supplied in 惭补诲补苍补辫腻谤颈箩腻迟补 (p. 361), which quotes 尝辞办腻办峁�i (called 尝补耻驳腻办峁�i in 厂尘峁泃颈迟补迟迟惫补, p. 653) describing the 鈥�颁奴岣嵞�鈥檃s 鈥榓 line of hair, towards the right among the 痴补艣颈峁ａ弓丑补蝉, on both sides among the Airis and 碍腻艣测补辫补蝉, and in five places among the 膧峁単颈谤补蝉补蝉; some people keep a single line; others only the top-tuft, shaped like the leaf of the banyan tree鈥攁nd adds that the exact form is to be determined by the G峁沨yas奴tra, of the man concerned.
