Ethics of Non-attachment
पूताभिश्न तथैवाद्धिः सदा दैवततर्पणम् । भावेन नियत: कुर्वन् ब्रह्मचारी प्रशस्यते,जो ब्रह्मचारी सदा नियमपरायण होकर श्रद्धाके साथ शुद्ध जलसे नित्य देवताओंका तर्पण करता है, उसकी सर्वत्र प्रशंसा होती है
pūtābhiś ca tathaivāddhiḥ sadā daivatatarpaṇam | bhāvena niyataḥ kurvan brahmacārī praśasyate ||
ພະເທວະວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ຜູ້ເປັນພຣະຫມະຈາຣິນ ຜູ້ໝັ້ນຄົງໃນວຣະຕະ ແລະຖວາຍຕັຣປະນະ (ການຫຼັ່ງນ້ຳບູຊາ) ແກ່ເທວະດາທຸກມື້ດ້ວຍນ້ຳບໍລິສຸດ ດ້ວຍສັດທາແລະເຈດຕະນາທີ່ຖືກຕ້ອງ—ຜູ້ນັ້ນຖືກສັນລະເສີນທົ່ວທຸກແຫ່ງ. ຄວາມເຄົາລົບບູຊາອັນມີວິໄນນີ້ ຖືກຍົກຂຶ້ນເປັນແບບຢ່າງແຫ່ງຄວາມປະພຶດດີ».

Educational Q&A
Disciplined conduct (niyama) joined with inner sincerity (bhāva/śraddhā) makes religious practice meaningful; a brahmacārin who regularly performs devatā-tarpaṇa with purity is held up as an ideal of dharmic life.
Vāyudeva is instructing by praising a model practitioner: a brahmacārin who, as part of daily observance, offers water-libations to the gods with pure water and sincere intent, thereby earning universal commendation.
