prāṇāyāmāṃścaranvipro niyamya mānasaṃ dṛḍham | ahorātrakṛtaiḥ pāpairmukto bhavati tatkṣaṇāt
Der Brāhmaṇa, der Prāṇāyāma übt und den Geist fest zügelt, wird sogleich von den bei Tag und bei Nacht begangenen Sünden befreit.
Deductive (contextual narrator within Brahmakhaṇḍa)
Listener: Kings/disciples; specifically mentions ‘vipra’ as the practitioner archetype
Scene: A brāhmaṇa seated in padmāsana on a riverbank after bathing, eyes half-closed, performing prāṇāyāma; subtle aura of calm, with the sun rising and a quiet ghāṭ behind.
Breath discipline joined with mental restraint purifies the practitioner, washing away the moral residue of daily life.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned; the purification here is through yogic-dhārmic practice (prāṇāyāma).
Perform prāṇāyāma with firm mind-control (as part of the daily rite), which is said to free one from day-and-night sins.
