मुखे पर्युषिते नित्यं भवत्यप्रयतो द्विजः । तस्माच्छुष्कमथार्द्रं वा भक्षयेद्दंतधावनम्
mukhe paryuṣite nityaṃ bhavatyaprayato dvijaḥ | tasmācchuṣkamathārdraṃ vā bhakṣayeddaṃtadhāvanam
اگر منہ میں باسی میل کچیل ہمیشہ باقی رہے تو دِوِج (دو بار جنما) ناپاکی میں سدا بے پروائی والا سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ اس لیے دانت صاف کرنے کے لیے خشک ہو یا تر، مسواک کی لکڑی ضرور استعمال کرے۔
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya instructional tone)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Morning at a tīrtha rest-house: a dvija prepares for worship, selecting a proper twig and rinsing, with clean vessels and a rising sun indicating the start of nitya-karma.
Purity begins with disciplined daily conduct; even small neglect (like stale mouth-impurity) undermines sacred readiness.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, within the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya of the Skanda Purāṇa.
Use a dantadhāvana (tooth-cleaning twig), whether dry or fresh, to cleanse the mouth before further rites.
