दासत्वं पापसंघातं परित्यज्य व्रजंति ते । पुण्यतोयप्रसंगाच्च ह्याप्लुताः सर्व एव ते
dāsatvaṃ pāpasaṃghātaṃ parityajya vrajaṃti te | puṇyatoyaprasaṃgācca hyāplutāḥ sarva eva te
ເມື່ອລະທິ້ງພັນທະແຫ່ງຄວາມເປັນທາດ—ອັນເປັນກອງບາບ—ເຂົາເຈົ້າກໍຈາກໄປ; ແລະໂດຍການສຳຜັດນ້ຳບຸນອັນສັກສິດ ແທ້ຈິງທຸກຄົນກໍບໍລິສຸດ ດັ່ງໄດ້ອາບນ້ຳຊຳລະແລ້ວ.
Not explicitly identifiable from the single verse (context needed from surrounding verses of Bhūmi-khaṇḍa 30).
Concept: Contact with sacred waters breaks the bondage created by accumulated sin; purification is both inner and existential.
Application: When feeling ‘bound’ by habits or shame, adopt a purification routine: bathing with mantra, visiting a temple/tīrtha, and making a concrete vow to abandon one harmful pattern.

FAQs
It presents contact with sacred water as spiritually cleansing—so effective that it is likened to a complete purificatory bath removing impurity and sin.
The verse treats “dāsatva” (bondage/servitude) as a degrading condition associated with accumulated wrongdoing, implying liberation begins by renouncing such bondage and its sinful momentum.
Renounce degrading bondage and seek purifying influences—especially tīrtha-associated sacred waters—since wholesome association and purificatory acts support moral and spiritual renewal.
