While Chapter 2 mentions that "From birth to death, there are sixteen rituals for the body," it does not provide a full list of all sixteen. The text only specifically names one of these rituals, the "naming ceremony" or "Namakaran," as a way to introduce the sub-story of how the author received the name "Hemadpant." The purpose of mentioning the sixteen rituals in this context was simply to frame the importance and tradition of the naming ceremony, not to enumerate all of them for the reader, as Chapter 2 clarifies.
Could you provide the full list of the sixteen bodily rituals mentioned in the text?
