Devanagari script
नोदकक्लिन्नगात्रस्तु स्नात इत्यभिधीयते । स स्नातो यो दमस्नात: स बाह्याभ्यन्तर: शुचि:
Translation
Dijo Bhīṣma: No se llama «baño» al mero hecho de mojar el cuerpo con agua. Se ha bañado de verdad quien se ha sumergido en el agua del autocontrol—el dominio de la mente y de los sentidos (dama). Ése es tenido por puro por fuera y por dentro.
