मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
जुद्वन्नग्नींक्ष नियत: संध्योपासनसेविता । बहुभिननियमैरेवं शुचिरश्षाति यो नर:
juhvann agnīn kṣaṇ-niyataḥ sandhyopāsana-sevitaḥ | bahubhir niyamair evaṁ śucir aśnāti yo naraḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「聖なる火に定めの供物を常に投じ、定刻に身を律し、サンディヤー（暁と黄昏の礼拝）を怠りなく修し、かく多くの戒行に生きる者は—これらの制御によって清められ、清浄と正しき法にかなって食を受ける。」

Educational Q&A
Purity in eating and living is grounded in disciplined daily religious practice—maintaining sacred fires, performing sandhyā worship, and following multiple niyamas (ethical-ritual restraints).
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma, he describes the conduct of a disciplined householder/observer: one who performs fire-offerings and sandhyā rites and follows many observances, thereby becoming fit to eat in a state of purity.
