Can you list the sixteen rituals for the body that are mentioned in Chapter 2?

📖 Chapter 2

While Chapter 2 mentions that there are sixteen rituals for the body from birth to death, it does not provide an exhaustive list of all sixteen. The text brings up the concept of these rituals specifically to introduce the story behind one of them: the "naming ceremony" or Namakaran. As explained in this chapter, the purpose of this reference is to set the stage for explaining how the author, who was previously cynical and argumentative, was given the name "Hemadpant." The narrative focuses on this sub-story rather than detailing all sixteen rituals.
