What happens in this chapter
Purification for broken vows and the sick
A short chapter of rulings from Shri Vishnu. Those who turned back from death by water, fire or the noose, or who abandoned sannyasa or a vow of anashana, are purified by two chandrayana penances and the gift of a cow and a bull. For a child between four and twelve years, a parent or another relative performs the penance, and a younger child bears no fault at all, neither the king's punishment nor penance. Lastly it gives the rule for a sick woman whose monthly course begins: on the fourth day she is purified by a bath. If she is too ill to bathe, a healthy person bathes ten times, touching her after each bath, and so she is made pure.
श्रीविष्णुरुवाच
ऊनद्वादशवर्षस्य चतुर्वर्षाधिकस्य च ।
प्रायश्चित्तं चरेन्माता पिता वान्योऽपि बान्धवः
ūnadvādaśavarṣasya caturvarṣādhikasya ca |
prāyaścittaṃ carenmātā pitā vānyo'pi bāndhavaḥ
अतो बालनरस्यापि नापराधो न पातकम् ।
राजदण्डो न तस्यास्ति प्रायश्चित्तं न विद्यते
ato bālanarasyāpi nāparādho na pātakam |
rājadaṇḍo na tasyāsti prāyaścittaṃ na vidyate
रक्तस्य दर्शने दष्टे आतुरा स्त्री भवेद्यदि ।
चतुर्थेऽह्नि पदादींश्च त्यक्त्वा स्नात्वा विशुध्यति
raktasya darśane daṣṭe āturā strī bhavedyadi |
caturthe'hni padādīṃśca tyaktvā snātvā viśudhyati
आतुरे स्नान उत्पन्ने दशकृत्वो ह्यनातुरः ।
स्नात्वास्नात्वास्पृशेदेनं ततः शुध्येत्स आतुरः
āture snāna utpanne daśakṛtvo hyanāturaḥ |
snātvāsnātvāspṛśedenaṃ tataḥ śudhyetsa āturaḥ
