ब्राह्मण्या चैव शूद्र्या च कुमारीभ्यां विनिर्मितम् । अष्टम्यां च चतुर्दश्यां यस्ताभ्यां स्नानमाचरेत्
brāhmaṇyā caiva śūdryā ca kumārībhyāṃ vinirmitam | aṣṭamyāṃ ca caturdaśyāṃ yastābhyāṃ snānamācaret
یہ دو کنواریوں نے بنایا—ایک برہمنی اور دوسری شودرا۔ جو کوئی اشٹمی اور چتُردشی کے دن وہاں غسل کرے، وہ مقررہ آچار کی تکمیل کرتا ہے۔
