FAQs
True purification is affirmed when the prescribed test yields clarity; dharma proceeds step-by-step through established rites.
No tīrtha is referenced; the verse transitions to another procedural test involving rice.
If the result indicates purity, the person is declared purified; the text then introduces the rice-grain (taṇḍula) procedure.
