ucchiṣṭena tu saṃspṛṣṭo dravya.hastaḥ kathaṃ cana | a.nidhāya-eva tad dravyam ācāntaḥ śucitām iyāt ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who, while carrying anything in any manner, is touched by an impure (person or thing), shall become pure, if he performs an ablution, without putting down that object.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
