Rules of Purity (Śauca), Permissible Foods, and the Duties of the Householder and Forest-Dweller
कृत्वा शिरःस्नानमथाङिड्कं वा संपूज्य तोयेन पितॄन् सदेवान् होमं च कृत्वालभनं शुभानां कृत्वा बहिर्निर्गमनं प्रशस्तम्
kṛtvā śiraḥsnānamathāṅiḍkaṃ vā saṃpūjya toyena pitṝn sadevān homaṃ ca kṛtvālabhanaṃ śubhānāṃ kṛtvā bahirnirgamanaṃ praśastam
Matapos isagawa ang paliligo sa ulo (o ang wastong paliligo ng katawan), at matapos parangalan sa tubig ang mga Pitṛ (mga ninuno) kasama ng mga Deva, at matapos gawin ang homa at ipahid ang mga mapalad na pahid/unguent, ang paglabas ng bahay ay itinuturing na kapuri-puri (ibig sabihin, dapat lamang umalis matapos ang mga gawaing ito).

Daily life is framed as reciprocal obligation: one honors ancestors (lineage continuity) and gods (cosmic order) before engaging the world, emphasizing gratitude, duty, and remembrance as foundations for worldly action.
Again, this is ācāra/dharma material rather than cosmogony or dynastic history. In pancalakṣaṇa terms it is ancillary instruction (upabṛṃhaṇa) supporting dharma within the Purāṇic corpus.
Water-offerings to Pitṛs and Devas symbolically connect vertical axes of existence—ancestral past and divine cosmos—so that one’s outward movement (bahirnirgama) proceeds only after re-establishing inner and social-sacred alignment.
