Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 11
यावत्प्रबुद्धो विप्रोऽसौ वीक्ष्योच्छिष्टं तदंशुकम् । चिक्षेप दूरतोऽस्पृश्यं शौचं कृत्वा विधानतः
yāvatprabuddho vipro'sau vīkṣyocchiṣṭaṃ tadaṃśukam | cikṣepa dūrato'spṛśyaṃ śaucaṃ kṛtvā vidhānataḥ
ครั้นพราหมณ์นั้นตื่นขึ้น เห็นผ้านั้นเปื้อนมลทิน ก็โยนทิ้งไปไกลดุจของต้องห้ามมิให้แตะต้อง; แล้วจึงชำระกายให้บริสุทธิ์ตามพระวินัย
