Strī-dharma: Śiva’s Inquiry, Umā’s Consultation, and Gaṅgā’s Instruction
कल्यमुत्थाय यो मर्त्य: स्नात: शुक्लेन वाससा । तिलपात्र प्रयच्छेत ब्राह्मणेभ्य: समाहित:
kalyam utthāya yo martyaḥ snātaḥ śuklena vāsasā | tilapātraṃ prayacchet brāhmaṇebhyaḥ samāhitaḥ ||
ローマシャは言った。「暁に起き、沐浴し、清らかな白衣をまとい、心をよく収めて婆羅門たちに胡麻を満たした器(ティラパートラ)を施す者——その者はダルマにかなう、規律ある布施を行うのであり、とりわけ祖霊のための儀礼に結びつく。」
लोगश उवाच
The verse teaches that charity (dāna) becomes especially dharmic and fruitful when performed with bodily purity (bathing, clean white clothing) and mental focus (samāhita), and when offered respectfully to worthy recipients (Brahmins), here using sesame as a ritually significant gift.
Logaśa describes a prescribed morning observance: rising at dawn, bathing, dressing in clean white cloth, and giving a sesame-filled vessel to Brahmins with a concentrated mind, as part of a broader discussion on meritorious acts and their results.
