Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(The second part of) a Brāhmaṇa's (name) shall be (a word) implying happiness, of a Kshatriya's (a word) implying protection, of a Vaiśya's (a term) expressive of thriving, and of a Śudra's (an expression) denoting service. ^^. The names of women should be easy to pronounce, not imply anything dreadful, possess a plain meaning, be pleasing and auspicious, end in long vowels, and contain a word of benediction. that the last two substances only are to be given to the child, after they have been touched with a piece of gold, or a golden ring.
