Brahmā’s Instruction on Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha, and the Aliṅga Path
Ethics of Non-attachment
उपस्पृशेदुद्धृताभिरद्धिश्व॒ पुरुष: सदा । मोक्ष-धर्मके ज्ञाता संन्यासीको उचित है कि सदा पवित्र जलसे काम ले। प्रतिदिन तुरंत निकाले हुए जलसे स्नान करे (बहुत पहलेके भरे हुए जलसे नहीं)
upaspṛśed uddhṛtābhir adbhiś ca puruṣaḥ sadā |
风神伐由天说道:“人应当恒常以新汲之水行净化之仪。尤其是通达解脱之法而住于出离的出家者,更应依止清净之水,每日以当下汲取的水沐浴,不可用久贮之水。”
वायुदेव उवाच
Purity in daily conduct is maintained through immediate, living sources of cleanliness: one should perform purification and bathing with freshly drawn water, reflecting disciplined renunciation and attentiveness to mokṣa-dharma.
Vāyudeva is instructing about proper ascetic and liberation-oriented conduct, giving a practical rule of ritual hygiene: use freshly drawn water for purification rather than old, stored water.
