snānaṃ vidhānataḥ samyak paścād ābhyantaraṃ caret ā dehāntaṃ mṛdālipya tīrthatoyeṣu sarvadā
Translation
Après avoir accompli le bain selon la règle, qu’on entreprenne ensuite la purification intérieure. Qu’on enduise le corps, de la tête aux pieds, d’une terre purificatrice et qu’on se baigne toujours dans les eaux des tīrtha, afin que le paśu —l’âme liée— devienne apte à adorer Pati, le Seigneur Śiva.
