Praise of Ācāra as the Basis of Longevity, Fame, and Prosperity
सर्वशौचेषु ब्राह्ेण तीर्थेन समुपस्पृशेत् । निष्ठीव्य तु तथा क्षुत्त्वा स्पृश्यापो हि शुचिर्भवेत्
sarvaśauceṣu brāhmeṇa tīrthena samupaspṛśet | niṣṭhīvya tu tathā kṣuttvā spṛśyāpo hi śucir bhavet ||
毗湿摩说道：“凡遇需净化之事，当以婆罗门所规定之‘婆罗门圣渡’（Brāhma-tīrtha）之法触水（啜水）而行阿遮摩那（ācamana）。同样，吐唾或喷嚏之后，只要触水——亦即行阿遮摩那——便复得清净。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches practical śauca (purity) discipline: ritual cleanliness is restored through the prescribed act of ācamana—touching/sipping water in the proper manner—especially after minor impurities like spitting or sneezing.
Within Bhīṣma’s extended instruction on dharma and right conduct in the Anuśāsana Parva, he gives specific rules of daily purity, explaining how a person (especially a brāhmaṇa, by the ‘Brāhma’ method) should re-establish cleanliness in common situations.
