आचारप्रशंसा
Praise of Ācāra as the Basis of Longevity, Fame, and Prosperity
सर्वशौचेषु ब्राह्ेण तीर्थेन समुपस्पृशेत् । निष्ठीव्य तु तथा क्षुत्त्वा स्पृश्यापो हि शुचिर्भवेत्
sarvaśauceṣu brāhmeṇa tīrthena samupaspṛśet | niṣṭhīvya tu tathā kṣuttvā spṛśyāpo hi śucir bhavet ||
ビーシュマは言った。「浄めを要するあらゆる場合、ブラーフマナに定められた『ブラーフマ・ティールタ』（Brāhma-tīrtha）の作法により、水に触れ（すすり）アーチャマナ（ācamana）を行うべきである。同様に、唾を吐いた後やくしゃみの後も、水に触れて—すなわちアーチャマナをして—再び清浄となる。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches practical śauca (purity) discipline: ritual cleanliness is restored through the prescribed act of ācamana—touching/sipping water in the proper manner—especially after minor impurities like spitting or sneezing.
Within Bhīṣma’s extended instruction on dharma and right conduct in the Anuśāsana Parva, he gives specific rules of daily purity, explaining how a person (especially a brāhmaṇa, by the ‘Brāhma’ method) should re-establish cleanliness in common situations.
