Adhyaya 35 — Madālasa’s Instruction on Purity, Impurity, and Corrective Rites (Śauca and Aśauca)
न लङ्घयेत तथैवासृक्छ्ठीवनोद्वर्तनानि च । नोद्यानादौ विकालेषु प्राज्ञस्तिष्ठेत् कदाचन ॥
na laṅghayet tathaivāsṛkṣṭhīvanodvartanāni ca / nodyānādau vikāleṣu prājñas tiṣṭhet kadācana
El sabio no debe pisar ni menospreciar la sangre, la saliva ni las impurezas corporales, como la suciedad desprendida tras el masaje con aceite. Tampoco el prudente debe holgazanear en jardines y lugares semejantes en horas impropias.

Dharma is expressed through everyday restraint: avoiding contact with impurity and avoiding risky/indecorous places at improper times. External cleanliness supports inner steadiness (sattva) and social order.
This is ancillary dharma-śikṣā (ācāra/niyama), not directly one of the five (sarga, pratisarga, vaṃśa, manvantara, vaṃśānucarita). It functions as practical dharma appended within the Purāṇic teaching.
Impurity (mala) symbolizes mental agitation and tamas; ‘not loitering at improper times’ indicates guarding the senses and mind from unwholesome impressions.
