Chapter 37 — Dharma of a Brahmin

Literal. Continues the procedural specification: house-customs (clean prayer room, rangoli designs, wooden/stone idols, Pranayama, worship of Vishnu with Tulsi, Shiva with Bel-pathra, Ganapathi with Durva), feeding guests (touchable or untouchable), eating (lotus or banana leaf, bronze plates, no lead/copper, sweets first, no rice first, no leftovers, etc.). Followed by a metacommentary: one should not sleep on cremation grounds, in dilapidated temples, on riverbanks, near anthills, or at crossroads. Closes with: whoever listens to this Charitra will gain great knowledge.

Symbolic. Dharma as fully-articulated daily protocol with named place-types to avoid. The closure ("whoever listens to this Charitra") is the chapter's first metacommentary on the book itself as a transmissive object.
