Adhyaya 35 — Madālasa’s Instruction on Purity, Impurity, and Corrective Rites (Śauca and Aśauca)

Sanskrit

तत्कर्तव्यमशङ्केन यन्न गोप्यं महाजने ।

एवमाचरतो वत्स ! पुरुषस्य गृहे सतः ।

धर्मार्थकामसम्प्राप्त्या परत्रेह च शोभनम् ॥

Transliteration

tat kartavyam aśaṅkena yan na gopyaṃ mahājane /

evam ācarato vatsa ! puruṣasya gṛhe sataḥ /

dharmārthakāmasaṃprāptyā paratreha ca śobhanam

Translation

جو عمل لوگوں سے چھپانے کے قابل نہ ہو، اسے بے جھجھک کرنا چاہیے۔ اس طرح گھر میں رہ کر عمل کرنے والے مرد کے لیے دھرم، ارتھ اور کام کی حصولیابی دنیا و آخرت دونوں میں سعادت اور عزت کا سبب بنتی ہے، اے پیارے بچے۔

FAQs

A practical ethical test is offered: do what can withstand public scrutiny. Such transparent conduct supports a balanced human life—dharma, prosperity, and rightful enjoyment—leading to honor in both worlds.

Primarily dharma-ācāra teaching; not a pañcalakṣaṇa narrative segment.

‘Not to be hidden’ points to inner alignment: when thought, speech, and action are unified, there is no need for concealment—this unity is itself a form of purity.
