Sesudah bersuci (śauca), hendaklah menghindari lima jenis tanah (tanah yang telah digunakan, berbaki, atau tidak suci). Setelah membasuh tangan dan kaki lalu memercikkan air ke atas diri, hendaklah tetap tenang dan terkawal.

FAQs
Purification is systematic: one avoids secondary contamination (used earth), completes washing, and returns to a collected mental state—purity is both physical and psychological.
Ancillary dharma instruction; not pañcalakṣaṇa.
The move from cleansing to ‘samāhita’ indicates that śauca culminates in restored inner steadiness; sprinkling water functions as a boundary-marking rite before re-entering sacred activities.
