saṃdhyāyāṃ ca na bhuñjīta na snāyen na tathā paṭhet | prayataś ca bhavet tasyāṃ na ca kiṃcit samācaret ||
Translation
Bhishma sprach: Zur Zeit der Dämmerung (saṃdhyā) soll man weder essen noch baden noch sich dem Studium oder der Rezitation widmen. In diesem heiligen Zwischenraum soll man sich beherrschen, den Geist reinigen, sich der Betrachtung und Verehrung hingeben und keine andere Tätigkeit beginnen.
