The text mentions sixteen rituals. Can you list them all and explain them?

The source text does not list all sixteen rituals performed on the body from birth to death. While it acknowledges their existence, Chapter 2 specifically mentions only one by name: the "naming ceremony" or Namakaran. The text brings this up to set the stage for telling the story of how the author, the writer of the book, received the name "Hemadpant." The passage clarifies that the purpose of mentioning the rituals is to introduce this sub-story about the author's naming, not to provide an exhaustive list or explanation of all sixteen traditional rites.
