Adhyaya 35 — Madālasa’s Instruction on Purity, Impurity, and Corrective Rites (Śauca and Aśauca)
जाते पुत्रे पितुः स्नानं सचेलन्तु विधीयते ।
तत्रापि यदि चान्यस्मिन जातॆ जायेत चापरः ॥
jāte putre pituḥ snānaṃ sacelantu vidhīyate | tatrāpi yadi cānyasmin jāte jāyeta cāparaḥ ||
পুত্ৰ জন্মিলে পিতাক বস্ত্ৰসহ স্নান কৰিবলৈ বিধান আছে। আৰু সেই প্ৰসঙ্গতেই, এজনৰ জন্মৰ পাছত পুনৰ আন এজনৰ জন্ম হ’লে (অৰ্থাৎ একেৰাহে জন্ম ঘটিলে) … (পৰৱৰ্তী বিধান প্রসঙ্গানুসাৰে)।

Even joyful transitions require ritual ordering; the father’s bath marks immediate acknowledgment of a changed household state and readiness to follow prescribed observances.
Ācāra/dharma instruction connected to household life, not a pancalakṣaṇa narrative.
Snāna functions as a rite of reset: it ritually ‘recalibrates’ the father’s status at the moment lineage continuity manifests, preparing the household for the sūtaka framework.
