Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 56
प्रमादादशुचि स्मृत्वा द्विराचांतः शुचिर्भवेत् । दंतधावनं प्रकुर्वीत यथोक्त धर्मशास्त्रतः । आचांतोऽप्यशुचिर्यस्मादकृत्वा दंतधावनम्
pramādādaśuci smṛtvā dvirācāṃtaḥ śucirbhavet | daṃtadhāvanaṃ prakurvīta yathokta dharmaśāstrataḥ | ācāṃto'pyaśuciryasmādakṛtvā daṃtadhāvanam
اگر غفلت کے باعث ناپاکی کا خیال آ جائے تو دو بار آچمن کرنے سے آدمی پاک ہو جاتا ہے۔ دھرم شاستروں کے مطابق دانت صاف کرنا چاہیے؛ کیونکہ دانت صاف کیے بغیر آچمن کرنے والا بھی ناپاک ہی رہتا ہے۔
Sūta (deduced, Brāhma Khaṇḍa narration style)
Scene: A devotee pauses mid-ritual after recalling an impurity; he performs ācamana twice, then cleans teeth with a twig as per śāstra, preparing for worship.
