Garuda Purana

सुराप्यस्त्वात्मघातिन्यो नाशौचोदकभाजनाः । ततो न रोदितव्यं हि त्वनित्या जीवसं स्थितिः ॥ १,१०६.

Those who drink liquor and those who commit suicide are not fit for purification or water-rites; therefore, one should not mourn, for the existence of life is impermanent.

क्रिया कार्या यथाशक्ति ततो गच्छेद्गृहान्प्रति । विदश्य निम्बपत्राणि नियता द्वारि वेश्मनः ॥ १,१०६.

One should perform the rites according to one's ability, then return home; placing neem leaves at the doorway of the house as prescribed.

आचम्याथाग्निमुदकं गोमयं गौरसर्षपान् । प्रविशेयुः समालभ्य कृत्वाश्मनि पदं शनैः ॥ १,१०६.

After rinsing the mouth, and touching fire, water, cow dung, cow's urine, and mustard seeds, one should enter, having touched a stone, slowly stepping inside.

प्रवेशनादिकं कर्म प्रेतसंस्पर्शनादपि । ईक्षतां तत्क्षणाच्छुद्धिः परेषां स्नानसंयमात् ॥ १,१०६.

The acts of entering and related actions, even after touching the deceased, bring purification at that moment for others, through bathing and restraint.

क्रीतलब्धाशना भूमौ स्वपेयुस्ते पृथक्पृथक् । पिण्डयज्ञकृता देयं प्रेतायान्नं दिनत्रयम् ॥ १,१०६.

Those who have obtained food by purchase should sleep separately on the ground; food offered for the departed, prepared for the rice-ball sacrifice, should be given for three days.

जलमेकाहमाकाशे स्थाप्यं क्षीरं तु मृन्मये । वैतानोपासनाः कार्याः क्रियाश्च श्रुतिचोदिताः ॥ १,१०६.

Water should be placed in the open for one day, and milk in an earthen vessel; Vaitāna worships should be performed, as well as rites prescribed by the scriptures.

आदन्तजन्मनः सद्यः आचूडं नैशिकी स्मृता । त्रिरात्रमा व्रतादेशाद्दशरात्रमतः परम् ॥ १,१०६.

For one born with teeth, immediate purification is prescribed; for the tonsure, the night-time impurity is remembered; according to the rule, three nights, then ten nights thereafter.

त्रिरात्रं दशरात्रं वा शावमाशौचमुच्यते । ऊनद्विवर्ष उभयोः सूतकं मातुरेव हि ॥ १,१०६.

Three nights or ten nights are called the impurity due to death; for those under two years, both birth and death impurity belong only to the mother.

अन्तरा जन्ममरणे शेषाहोभिर्विशुध्यति । दश द्वादश वर्णानां तथा पञ्चदशैव च ॥ १,१०६.

Between birth and death, purification occurs by the remaining days; ten, twelve, and likewise fifteen days for the different classes.

त्रिंशद्दिनानि च तथा भवति प्रेतसूतकम् । अहस्त्वदत्तकन्यासु बालेषु च विशोधनम् ॥ १,१०६.

Thirty days is the period of impurity for the death of infants; for girls given in marriage without ceremony and for children, purification is prescribed.

गुर्वन्तेवास्यनूचानमातुलश्रोत्रियेषु च । अनौरसेषु पुत्रेषु भार्यास्वन्यगतासु च ॥ १,१०६.

For teachers, disciples, maternal uncles, and learned Brahmins, for sons not born of the wife, and for wives who have gone elsewhere.

निवासराजनि तथा तदहः शुद्धिकार(ण)म् । हतानां नृपगोविप्रैरन्वक्षं चात्मघातिनाम् ॥ १,१०६.

On the day of residence or kingship, purification occurs; for those killed by kings, cows, or Brahmins, and immediately for suicides.

विषाद्यैश्च हतानां च नाशौचं पृथिवीपतेः । सत्रिव्रतिब्रह्मचारिदातृब्रह्मविदां तथा ॥ १,१०६.

For those killed by poison and similar causes, there is no impurity, O lord of the earth; nor for those who are sacrificers, vow-keepers, celibates, donors, or knowers of Brahman.

दाने विवाहे यज्ञे च संग्रामे देशविप्लवे । आपद्यपि च कष्टायां सद्यः शौचं विधीयते ॥ १,१०६.

At gifts, marriages, sacrifices, battles, or when the land is in turmoil, and even in times of great distress, immediate purification is prescribed.

कालोऽग्निः कर्ममृद्वायुर्मनो ज्ञानं तपो जपः (लम्) । पश्चात्ताषो निराहारः सर्वेषां शुद्धिहेतवः ॥ १,१०६.

Time, fire, ritual, earth, wind, mind, knowledge, austerity, recitation, repentance, and fasting are all causes of purification for everyone.

अकार्यकारिणां दानं वेगो नद्यास्तु शुद्धिकृत् । क्षात्त्रेण कर्मणा जीवेद्विशां वाप्यापदि द्विजः ॥ १,१०६.

The gift from one who acts improperly, the current of a river, purifies; a twice-born may live by the work of a kṣatriya or a vaiśya in distress.

फलसोमक्षौमवीरुद्दधि क्षीरं घृतं जलम् । तिलोदनरसक्षारमधु लाक्षा शृतं हविः ॥ १,१०६.

Fruits, soma, cloth, vegetables, curd, milk, ghee, water, sesame rice, juice, salt, honey, lac, cooked food, and oblations—

वस्त्रोपलासवं पुष्पं शाकमृच्चर्मपादुकम् । एणत्वचं च कौशेयं लवणं मासमेव च ॥ १,१०६.

Cloth, stones, wine, flowers, vegetables, earth, leather sandals, antelope skin, silk, salt, and also beans—

पिण्याकमूलगन्धांश्च वैश्यवृत्तो न विक्रयेत् । धर्मार्थं विक्रयं नेयास्तिला धान्येन तत्समाः ॥ १,१०६.

A vaiśya should not sell oil-cake, roots, or fragrant substances; sesame and grains equal to them should only be sold for righteousness or livelihood.

लवणादि न विक्रीयात्तथा चापद्गतो द्विजः । हीनाद्विप्रो विगृह्णंश्च लिप्यते नार्कवद्द्विजः ॥ १,१०६.

One should not sell salt and similar things; likewise, a twice-born in distress who accepts from the lowly is not tainted like the sun.

कुर्यात्कृष्यादिकं तद्वदविक्रेया हयास्तथा । बुभुक्षितस्त्र्यं स्थित्वा दृष्ट्वा वृत्तिविवर्जितम् । राजा धर्म्यां प्रकुर्वीत वृत्तिं विप्रादिकस्य च ॥ १,१०६.

He may do agriculture and similar work, but horses should not be sold; if a brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, or vaiśya is destitute and without means, the king should provide a righteous livelihood for him.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् १०७ सूत उवाच । पराशरोऽब्रवीद्व्यासं धर्मं वर्णाश्रमादिकम् । कल्पेकल्पे क्षयोत्पत्त्या क्षीयन्ते नु प्रजादयः ॥ १,१०७.

Sūta said: Parāśara spoke to Vyāsa about dharma regarding varṇa and āśrama; in each cycle, with destruction and creation, do beings diminish or arise?

श्रुतिः स्मृतिः सदाचरो यः कश्चिद्वे दकर्तृकः । वेदाः स्मृता ब्राह्मणादौ धर्मा मन्वादिभिः सदा ॥ १,१०७.

The Veda, Smṛti, and good conduct—whatever is established by the Veda—are always remembered as dharma for brāhmaṇas and others, as taught by Manu and the rest.

दानं कलियुगे धर्मः कर्तारं च कलौ त्यजेत् । पापकृत्यं तु तत्रैव शापं फलति वर्षतः ॥ १,१०७.

In the Kali age, giving is dharma, but in Kali, the doer is abandoned; sinful acts there bear fruit for years as a curse.

आचारात्प्राप्नुयात्सर्वं षट्कर्माणि दिनेदिने । सन्ध्या स्नानं जपो होमो देवातिथ्यादिपूजनम् ॥ १,१०७.

By proper conduct, one attains all six daily duties: twilight worship, bathing, recitation, fire offering, and worship of gods, guests, and others.

अपूर्वः सुव्रती विप्रो ह्यपूर्वा यतयस्तदा । क्षत्त्रियः परसैन्यानि जित्वा पृथ्वीं प्रपालयेत् ॥ १,१०७.

A brāhmaṇa who is steadfast in vows is unprecedented, as are ascetics then; a kṣatriya, having conquered enemy armies, should rule the earth.

वणिक्कृष्यादि वैश्ये स्याद्द्विजभक्तिश्च शूद्रके । अभक्ष्यभक्षणाच्चौर्यादगम्या गमनात्पतेत् ॥ १,१०७.

A vaiśya should engage in trade and agriculture; a śūdra should be devoted to the twice-born. One falls by eating the forbidden, stealing, or approaching the forbidden.

कृषिं कुर्वन्द्विजः श्रान्तं बलीवर्दं न वाहयेत् । दिनार्धं स्नानयोगादिकारी विप्रांश्च भोजयेत् ॥ १,१०७.

A twice-born, while farming, should not overwork a tired ox; for half the day, he should engage in bathing and related duties, and feed brāhmaṇas.

निर्वपेत्पञ्च यज्ञानि क्रूरे निन्दां च कारयेत् । तिलाज्यं न विक्रीणित सूनायज्ञमघान्वितः ॥ १,१०७.

He should perform the five sacrifices, avoid harsh criticism, and not sell sesame oil; a sacrifice performed in a slaughterhouse is sinful.
