Dharmopadeśa-Śānti: Rules of Impurity, Expiations, and Ancestor Rites
निराहारा शुचिस्तिष्टेत्काले स्नानेन शुद्ध्यति । रजस्वले यदा नार्यावन्योन्यं स्पृशतः क्वचित् ॥ १३ ॥
nirāhārā śucistiṣṭetkāle snānena śuddhyati | rajasvale yadā nāryāvanyonyaṃ spṛśataḥ kvacit || 13 ||
Nhịn ăn, người ta nên ở trong trạng thái thanh tịnh; đến đúng thời, tắm gội thì được thanh sạch. Nếu vào bất cứ lúc nào, các phụ nữ chạm vào nhau khi một người đang hành kinh, thì phải theo phép tẩy tịnh thích hợp.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It emphasizes śauca (ritual cleanliness) as a dharmic discipline: restraint (fasting) and timely snāna (bath) restore purity after situations of impurity, reinforcing mindfulness in daily conduct.
While not directly teaching bhakti practices, it supports devotional life by prescribing bodily and ritual disciplines (śauca, snāna, fasting) that traditionally accompany worship, vrata observance, and temple/puja eligibility.
It reflects kalpa-style ritual procedure—practical rules for purification by snāna and conduct during rajasvala-related contact—aligned with dharmaśāstra and ritual manuals used in Vedic practice.
