Dear Madhav and Patrick,

I understood that touching the ground first is also part of the "ritual", not just the ears.

Best to all

Dear Patrick,

A colleague asked me about the practice of holding one’s ear, especially in asking forgiveness. Are there textual sources for it? I have seen this practice in texts, but cannot find them right now. If, off the top of your heads, you can find one, do let me know. Thanks.

Patrick
