Bṛhaspati–Yudhiṣṭhira Saṃvāda
जैसे क्रियाहीन बल अथवा बलरहित क्रिया इस जगतूमें कार्यका साधन नहीं कर सकती। बल और क्रिया दोनोंके संयुक्त होनेपर ही कार्यकी सिद्धि होती है, इसी प्रकार शरीरशुद्धि और तीर्थशुद्धिसे युक्त पुरुष ही पवित्र होकर परमात्मप्राप्तिरूप सिद्धि प्राप्त करता है। अतः दोनों प्रकारकी शुद्धि ही उत्तम मानी गयी है ।।

毗湿摩说道：正如无行动之力、或无力之行，在此世间皆不能成就事业，而成功唯在力与行相合之时方能生起——同样，唯有兼具身之清净与由圣地（tīrtha）所得之清净者，方能真正净化，并获得圆满成就，即证悟至上之我（至尊自性）。因此，两种清净皆被视为最上。至此，《摩诃婆罗多》阿努沙萨那篇“施舍之法”部分，名为《清净之问》的第一百零八章告终。

Educational Q&A
Purification is complete only when inner/outer discipline (bodily purity and right conduct) is joined with sanctifying religious practice (tīrtha-related purity); like strength and action, each alone is insufficient, but together they lead to true success—here, the attainment of the Supreme Self.
Bhishma concludes his instruction on śauca (purity) by giving an analogy (strength and action) to emphasize the need for two complementary forms of purity, and the chapter colophon marks the end of the ‘Inquiry into Purity’ within the Dana-Dharma section of the Anushasana Parva.
