विप्रः शुध्यत्य् अपः स्पृष्ट्वा क्षत्रियो वाहनआयुधम् । वैश्यः प्रतोदं रश्मीन् वा यष्टिं शूद्रः कृतक्रियः ॥
vipraḥ śudhyaty apaḥ spṛṣṭvā kṣatriyo vāhana.āyudham | vaiśyaḥ pratodaṃ raśmīn vā yaṣṭiṃ śūdraḥ kṛta.kriyaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(At the end of the period of impurity) a Brāhmaṇa who has performed the necessary rites, becomes pure by touching water, a Kshatriya by touching the animal on which he rides, and his weapons, a Vaiiya by touching his goad or the nose-string (of his oxen), a.5udra by touching his staff.
