Brahmā’s Instruction on Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha, and the Aliṅga Path
Ethics of Non-attachment
पूताभिश्न तथैवाद्धिः सदा दैवततर्पणम् । भावेन नियत: कुर्वन् ब्रह्मचारी प्रशस्यते,जो ब्रह्मचारी सदा नियमपरायण होकर श्रद्धाके साथ शुद्ध जलसे नित्य देवताओंका तर्पण करता है, उसकी सर्वत्र प्रशंसा होती है
pūtābhiś ca tathaivāddhiḥ sadā daivatatarpaṇam | bhāvena niyataḥ kurvan brahmacārī praśasyate ||
Dijo Vāyu: «Es alabado en todas partes aquel que, firme en sus votos como brahmacārin, ofrece regularmente libaciones a los dioses con agua pura, haciéndolo con fe sincera y recta intención. Tal devoción disciplinada se tiene por conducta ejemplar.»

Educational Q&A
Disciplined conduct (niyama) joined with inner sincerity (bhāva/śraddhā) makes religious practice meaningful; a brahmacārin who regularly performs devatā-tarpaṇa with purity is held up as an ideal of dharmic life.
Vāyudeva is instructing by praising a model practitioner: a brahmacārin who, as part of daily observance, offers water-libations to the gods with pure water and sincere intent, thereby earning universal commendation.
