Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 69
सर्वं तिलमयं नाद्यात्सायं शर्माभिलाषुकः । न निरीक्षेत विण्मूत्रे नोच्छिष्टः संस्पृशेच्छिरः
sarvaṃ tilamayaṃ nādyātsāyaṃ śarmābhilāṣukaḥ | na nirīkṣeta viṇmūtre nocchiṣṭaḥ saṃspṛśecchiraḥ
মঙ্গল-কল্যাণ কামনা কৰা লোকে সন্ধ্যাবেলাত সম্পূৰ্ণ তিলময় আহাৰ নাখাব। মল-মূত্ৰলৈ নাচাব, আৰু উচ্ছিষ্ট অৱস্থাত নিজৰ মূৰ নাছোঁৱাব।

FAQs
Dharma is preserved through dietary restraint and careful observance of purity, especially regarding ucchiṣṭa.
The verse belongs to Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s guidance for righteous living in Kāśī rather than a single named tīrtha.
Avoid all-sesame preparations in the evening; avoid impure sights; do not touch the head while ucchiṣṭa.
