प्रातःसंध्यां ततः कुर्याद्दंतधावनपूर्विकाम् । प्रातःस्नानं चरित्वा च शुद्धे तीर्थे विशेषतः
prātaḥsaṃdhyāṃ tataḥ kuryāddaṃtadhāvanapūrvikām | prātaḥsnānaṃ caritvā ca śuddhe tīrthe viśeṣataḥ
Rồi nên hành lễ Sandhyā buổi sớm, trước hết phải súc rửa, làm sạch răng; và thực hiện tắm gội buổi sáng—đặc biệt tại tīrtha thanh tịnh (bến nước linh thiêng).
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-Gaṅgā-tīrtha (general instruction)
Type: ghat
Scene: A pilgrim at a Kāśī ghāṭ at pre-dawn: tooth-cleaning with a twig, then standing facing the river performing sandhyā, with the Gaṅgā flowing beside lamps and temple silhouettes.
Daily worship is strengthened by purity and by connecting one’s routine to sacred geography through tīrtha-bathing.
A “śuddha tīrtha” is praised in general; in Kāśīkhaṇḍa this naturally aligns with Kāśī’s revered bathing places.
Perform dantadhāvana first, then prātaḥ-sandhyā, and then prātaḥ-snānā—preferably at a pure tīrtha.
