Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
उपरागे परं स्नानमृते दिनमुदाहृतम् ।
अपमृज्यान्न चास्नातो गात्राण्यंबरपाणिभिः ॥
uparāge paraṃ snānam ṛte dinam udāhṛtam | apamṛjyān na cāsnāto gātrāṇy ambarapāṇibhiḥ ||
ଉପରାଗ (ଗ୍ରହଣ) କାଳରେ ସ୍ନାନକୁ ପରମ ପୁଣ୍ୟ ବୋଲି ଘୋଷିତ କରାଯାଇଛି; କିନ୍ତୁ ନିଷିଦ୍ଧ ଦିନରେ (ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୋକ୍ତ ଭାବେ) ତାହା ବର୍ଜନୀୟ। ସ୍ନାନ ପରେ ଶରୀର ପୋଛିବା ଉଚିତ୍; ଯିଏ ସ୍ନାନ କରିନାହିଁ ସେ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଓ ହାତରେ ଅଙ୍ଗ ପୋଛିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହେଁ।

Purity is treated as both physical and ritual: eclipses intensify the need for corrective observance (snāna), and one should not simulate the state of cleanliness without actually performing the purifying act.
Ācāra/vrata-related instruction; not part of the five core purāṇic markers.
Eclipses are liminal cosmic events; bathing functions as a re-alignment rite, symbolically restoring clarity when the luminaries are obscured.
