यदि न क्रियते पानमंगप्रक्षालनं तथा । तत्किमर्थं पूर्तधर्माः क्रियन्ते धर्मशालिभिः
yadi na kriyate pānamaṃgaprakṣālanaṃ tathā | tatkimarthaṃ pūrtadharmāḥ kriyante dharmaśālibhiḥ
Kung hindi dapat gawin ang pag-inom at ang paghuhugas ng mga sangkap ng katawan, ano pa ang layunin ng mga matuwid sa paggawa ng mga gawaing pampublikong kabutihan (pūrta-dharma)?
Bhīma
Type: tirtha
Scene: A rhetorical scene: speaker indicates a well/step-tank and a dharmaśālā, questioning the point of building them if water use is forbidden; pilgrims nearby with water pots.
Charitable public works have dharmic purpose—supporting life through water and cleanliness—so practice should align with that intent.
None by name; the verse speaks broadly about ponds/water-works and their dharmic rationale.
It indirectly supports drinking water and aṅga-prakṣālana as legitimate aims of dharmic water-reservoirs and tīrtha facilities.
