Rules of Purity (Śauca), Permissible Foods, and the Duties of the Householder and Forest-Dweller
नन्दासु नाभ्यङ्गमुपाचरेत क्षौरं च रिक्तासु जयासु मांसम् पूर्णासु योषित्परिवर्जयेत भद्रासु सर्वाणि समाचरेत
nandāsu nābhyaṅgamupācareta kṣauraṃ ca riktāsu jayāsu māṃsam pūrṇāsu yoṣitparivarjayeta bhadrāsu sarvāṇi samācareta
Sa mga tithi na Nandā, huwag magsagawa ng pagmamasahe na may langis. Sa mga tithi na Riktā, iwasan ang pag-aahit. Sa mga tithi na Jayā, iwasan ang karne. Sa mga tithi na Pūrṇā, umiwas sa pakikipagtalik (pagpapakalunod sa babae). Sa mga tithi na Bhadrā, maaaring gawin ang lahat ng ito.

The verse ties everyday acts to ritual time-discipline: by regulating pleasure, grooming, and diet according to tithi-qualities, one cultivates mindfulness and subordinates impulse to dharmic order.
This is again ancillary material: vrata/ācāra guidance rather than sarga/pratisarga or dynastic narration. It reflects the Purāṇic role as a practical dharma handbook.
The tithi-classes encode a sacral calendar where ‘full/empty/auspicious’ time qualities shape conduct; abstentions symbolize conserving ojas and aligning personal life with cosmic rhythm (ṛta).
