Discrimination of the Three Bodies and the Dharaṇī Vow: A Manual for Dvādaśī Observance
त्वयि सर्वे रसाः नित्याः स्थिताः वरुण सर्वदा । तेनैमां मृत्तिकां प्लाव्य पूतां कुरु ममाचिरम् ॥ ३९.३६ ॥
tvayi sarve rasā nityāḥ sthitā varuṇa sarvadā | tenemāṁ mṛttikāṁ plāvya pūtāṁ kuru mamāciram || 39.36 ||
O Varuṇa, sa iyo nananahan magpakailanman ang lahat ng mga katas (tubig/likido) sa lahat ng panahon. Kaya, sa pamamagitan ng pagbaha sa lupang/luwad na ito, linisin mo ito para sa akin nang walang pagkaantala.
Varāha (default dialogue framework; explicit speaker not stated in excerpt)
It reflects a common Purāṇic idiom in which Varuṇa, associated with waters and cosmic order, is invoked as the locus of purifying essences; this supports the text’s broader concern with restoring and ritually re-sanctifying the Earth.
No specific toponym or pilgrimage geography is named in this verse; the reference is cosmological (Varuṇa/waters) and material (mṛttikā, ‘earth/clay’).
A philosophical instruction emphasizing purification and restoration: the Earth (mṛttikā) should be cleansed through life-sustaining waters, aligning environmental renewal with ritual order.
