When one is sitting in attendance on another whom he honours and reveres,
he should not allow any part of his mat to keep them apart,
nor will he rise when he sees others (come in) of the same rank as himself.
When the torches come, he should rise;
and also when the viands come in,
or a visitor of superior rank.
The torches should not (be allowed to burn) till their ends can be seen.
Before an honoured visitor we should not shout (even) at a dog.
When declining any food, one should not spit.
