Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
उपरागे परं स्नानमृते दिनमुदाहृतम् ।
अपमृज्यान्न चास्नातो गात्राण्यंबरपाणिभिः ॥
uparāge paraṃ snānam ṛte dinam udāhṛtam | apamṛjyān na cāsnāto gātrāṇy ambarapāṇibhiḥ ||
أثناء الكسوف أو الخسوف (أوبَراغا)، يُعلَن الاغتسال ذا ثوابٍ أسمى، إلا في اليوم المحظور (كما ورد في التعليم). وبعد الاغتسال ينبغي تجفيف الجسد؛ ومن لم يغتسل فلا يمسح أطرافه بقطعة قماش وبيديه كأنه قد تطهّر.
