XI. 188. But he shall throw that pot into water, enter his house and perform, as before, all the duties incumbent on a relative.
XI. 189. Let him follow the same rule in the case of female outcasts; but clothes, food, and drink shall be given to them, and they shall live close to the (family) house.
But if the outcast was recalcitrant and impenitent Manu provides for his punishment.
Manu will not allow the outcast to live in the family house. Manu enjoins that
XI. 189………Clothes, food, and drink shall be given to them (i.e. the outcast members of the family), and they shall live close to the (family) house.
III. 92. Let him (i.e. the householder) gently place on the ground (some food) for dogs, outcasts, chandals, those aflicted with diseases that are punishments of former sins, crows and insects.
Manu declares that having social intercourse with an outcast is a sin. He warns the Snataka
IV. 79…………not (to) stay together with outcasts.
IV. 213…………Not (to eat food given) by outcasts.
To the householder Manu says:—
III. 151. Let him (i.e. the householder) not entertain at a Shradha.
III. 157. (A person) who forsakes his mother, his father, or a teacher without (sufficient) reason, he who has contracted an alliance with outcasts either through the Veda or through a marriage.
Manu ordains a social boycott of the outcast by penalizing those who associate with him.
XI. 181. He who associates himself for one year with an outcast himself becomes an outcast; not by sacrificing, reading the Veda, or contracting affinity with him, since by those acts he loses his class immediately, but even by using the same carriage or seat, or by taking his food at the same board.
XI. 182. He who associates with any one of those outcasts, must perform, in order to atone for (such) intercourse, the penance prescribed for that (sinner).
Then there are penalties against an outcast who defies his caste and choses to remain an outcast. Manu tells him what will be his penalty in the next world.
XII. 60. He who has associated with outcasts (will) become Brahmarakshas (i.e. an evil spirit).
