Translation
Do not enter the water while bathing, never become angry, and do not even speak with sinful people. Never wear clothes that have not been properly washed, and do not put on a garland that has already been worn.
Do not bath by entering water. Do not wear unwashed cloth. One should not wear a garland already worn by someone else (vidhṛtam).
