शिरसा प्रतिगृह्णाति स पापेभ्यः प्रमुच्यते ॥ ब्राह्मणस्तु सदा स्नातो भक्त्या परमया युतः ॥
śirasā pratigṛhṇāti sa pāpebhyaḥ pramucyate || brāhmaṇas tu sadā snāto bhaktyā paramayā yutaḥ ||
जो सिर झुका के यह लेता है, वो अपने पापों से आज़ाद हो जाता है। ब्राह्मण हमेशा नहा के साफ रहता है और भगवान के सारे भक्ति से काम करता है।
