The text mentions sixteen rituals for the body. Can you provide a detailed list and explanation of all sixteen as practiced by Hemadpant?

📖 Chapter 2

While Chapter 2 does mention that "From birth to death, there are sixteen rituals for the body," the provided source chunks do not offer a comprehensive list or detailed explanation of them. The text only singles out one specific ritual, the "naming ceremony" (Namakaran), as a narrative device to introduce the upcoming story of how the author received the name "Hemadpant." The purpose of mentioning the rituals is to set the stage for this specific sub-story. The provided passages do not contain any further information on the other fifteen rituals or how the author may have observed them.
