Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
शिरस्यगस्त्यमास्थाय शयीताथ पुरंदरम् ।
न तु गन्धवतीष्वप्सु स्नायीत न तथा निशि ॥
śirasy agastyam āsthāya śayītātha purandaram | na tu gandhavatīṣv apsu snāyīta na tathā niśi ||
គាត់គួរដេកដោយដាក់ក្បាល (ឬខ្នើយ) ទៅទិសអគស្ត្យ (ទិសត្បូង/ផ្កាយអគស្ត្យ) ហើយបន្ទាប់មកគោរពរំលឹកបុរន្ទរ (ឥន្ទ្រ)។ ប៉ុន្តែគាត់មិនគួរងូតទឹកមានក្លិនក្រអូបឡើយ ហើយក៏មិនគួរងូតទឹកនៅពេលយប់ដែរ។

The verse blends practical restraints (night-bathing avoidance) with sacralizing daily life through remembrance of deities; ordinary routines become carriers of dharmic attentiveness.
Not pancalakṣaṇa material; it is conduct-oriented instruction embedded within purāṇic discourse.
Agastya symbolizes stabilizing, southward order and restraint; invoking Indra (Purandara) suggests protection and sovereignty over the senses—sleep and bathing are framed as spiritually consequential transitions.
