I'd rather have a gender neutral expression that he/his/him (as the article does in other places) so:
"he is a dog who eats Uchchhista" - "a person is a dog who eats Uchchhista"
"considered as his insult" - "considered as an insult"
For someone, it's better to say someone else
"someone's mouth" - "someone else's mouth"
"someone's saliva" - "someone else's saliva"
"even though cleaned" = "even when cleaned"
"In contrast of the" - "In contrast to the"
"like of a husband" - "like that of a husband"
"having "eaten"" - "having been "eaten" "
" as in some parts of North India; however other times as in parts of South India, the comparison of the sacred prasad to Uchchhista, is frowned upon." - "as in parts of North India; however, in parts of South India, the comparison of the sacred prasad to Uchchhista is frowned upon."
"As such, wife" - "As such, the wife"
All these single sentences would be better off put into paragraphs
"(Gurukula) and learn" - "(Gurukula) and study"
"In this period, a student should ask for alms for his livelihood, which he should not consider as Uchchhishta." - "In this period, students should ask for alms for their livelihood, which they should not consider as Uchchhishta"
^And so on for more instances of he/his
"of the guru, equivalent to medicine that an ill student should have" - "of the guru as equivalent to medicine for an ill student"
"In the Guru Stotram, it is said that the Guru is equivalent to the Trimurti, hence, for the student, it is considered as taking prasadam" - not cited
OK I'm going to stop here and quickfail the article. Sorry but the article is not well-written and needs a copy edit. You could ask at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors and you've got my copyedit here up to where I stopped (I can see the next section also needs work). With a rewrite I could see this being a good article, so best of luck with it. Mujinga (talk) 02:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
