प्रातःप्रातस्तु यत्स्नानं संजाते चारुणोदये । प्राजापत्यसमं प्राहुस्तन्महाघविघातकृत्
prātaḥprātastu yatsnānaṃ saṃjāte cāruṇodaye | prājāpatyasamaṃ prāhustanmahāghavighātakṛt
لیکن جو غسل ہر روز خوبصورت ارونودے (سحر) کے وقت، سورج نکلتے ہی کیا جائے، اسے پرجاپتیہ پرایشچت کے برابر کہا گیا ہے؛ وہ بڑے بڑے گناہوں کو مٹا دیتا ہے۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Aruṇodaya-snānā at Kāśī tīrtha (Gaṅgā implied)
Type: ghat
Scene: Aruṇodaya on the Gaṅgā: the sky blushes; pilgrims enter the water with folded hands; a subtle divine radiance suggests prāyaścitta power; the sun just emerging.
Timely, disciplined purity at dawn carries expiatory power and supports a life aligned with dharma.
No particular tīrtha is named; within Kāśīkhaṇḍa, dawn bathing is implicitly harmonized with Kāśī’s sacred waters.
Take a bath at dawn (around sunrise); it is said to equal the Prājāpatya rite and destroy major sins.
