Take it out immediately."** ## Purport According to Raghunandana Bhaṭṭācārya, the spokesman for the *smārta* regulative principles: > prātaḥ-snāne vrate śrāddhe > dvādaśyāṁ grahaṇe tathā > madya-lepa-samaṁ tailaṁ > tasmāt tailaṁ vivarjayet "If one who has taken a vow smears oil on his body while bathing in the morning, while observing a ritualistic ceremony like the *śrāddha* ceremony, or on *dvādaśī* day, he may as well pour wine over his body. Therefore, oil should be rejected." This word *vrata* (vow) is sometimes understood to refer to the *sannyāsa-vrata.* Raghunandana Bhaṭṭācārya has also said in his book *Tithi-tattva:* > ghṛtaṁ ca sārṣapaṁ tailaṁ > yat tailaṁ puṣpa-vāsitam > aduṣṭaṁ pakva-tailaṁ ca > tailābhyaṅge ca nityaśaḥ This means that clarified butter (*ghee*), mustard oil, floral oil and boiled oil may be used only by *gṛhasthas,* householders.
