स्नानकर्मणि योग्यांश स्वादिष्ठायनमुत्तमम्
snānakarmaṇi yogyāṃśa svādiṣṭhāyanamuttamam
స్నానకర్మకు అత్యుత్తమంగా, యోగ్యంగా ఉన్న భాగం ‘స్వాదిష్ఠాయన’ (అనే పాఠభాగం) అని చెప్పబడింది.
Skanda (deduced)
Scene: A teacher-priest points to a marked section in a manuscript labeled for snāna, while a disciple prepares water vessels and darbha, indicating the ‘right portion’ to chant during bathing.
Even simple acts like bathing become sacred when aligned with śāstra-approved mantras and intention.
No single named tīrtha appears in this line; it supports the general tīrtha-bathing procedure of the chapter.
Use of a particular mantra/hymnic portion (Svādiṣṭhāyana) as especially appropriate for snāna.
