Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
नाप्सु मूत्रं पुरीषं वा मैथुनं वा समाचरेत् ।
नाधितिष्ठेच्छकृन्मूत्रकेशभस्मकपालिकाः ॥
nāpsu mūtraṃ purīṣaṃ vā maithunaṃ vā samācaret |
nādhitiṣṭhecchakṛnmūtrakeśabhasmakapālikāḥ ||
不可在水中小便或大便,亦不可在其中行淫。不可踏于粪秽、尿液、发丝、灰烬,或破罐之碎片之上。

Water is treated as sacred and communal; polluting it or behaving licentiously in it violates both cleanliness and reverence.
Ācāra-dharma; not pancalakṣaṇa.
Water symbolizes purity and life; guarding it outwardly mirrors guarding inner ‘streams’ of thought from defilement.
