Garuda Purana

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.

राज्ञो दत्त्वा तु षड्भागं देवतानां च विंशतिम् । त्रयस्त्रिंशच्च विप्राणां कृषिकर्ता न लिप्यते ॥ १,१०७.

Having given one-sixth to the king, one-twentieth to the gods, and thirty-three to the brāhmaṇas, the cultivator is not tainted.

कर्षकाः क्षत्त्रविट्छूद्राः खलेऽदत्त्वा तु चौरकः । दिनत्रयेण शुध्येत ब्राह्मणः प्रेतसूतके ॥ १,१०७.

Farmers—kṣatriya, brāhmaṇa, and śūdra—if they do not give the due share, are thieves; a brāhmaṇa is purified from impurity due to death or birth within three days.

क्षत्त्रो दशाहाद्वैश्यास्तु द्वादशाहान्मासि शूद्रकः । याति विप्रो दशाहात्तु क्षत्त्रो द्वादशकाद्दिनात् ॥ १,१०७.

A kṣatriya is purified in ten days, a vaiśya in twelve days, and a śūdra in a month; a brāhmaṇa is purified after ten days, a kṣatriya after twelve.

पञ्चदशाहाद्वैश्यस्तु शूद्रो मासेन शुध्यति । एकपिण्डास्तु दायादाः पृथग्द्वारनिकेतनाः ॥ १,१०७.

A vaiśya is purified after fifteen days, a śūdra in a month; heirs who live separately, with different doors and houses, each offer one ball of rice.

जन्मना च विपत्तौ च भवेत्तेषां च सूतकम् । चतुर्थे दशरात्रं स्यात्षण्णिशाः पुंसि पञ्चमे ॥ १,१०७.

At birth and at misfortune, impurity arises for them; for four days and ten nights, and for six nights in the case of a male, and five in the fifth.

षष्ठे चतुर हाच्छुद्धिः सप्तमे च दिनत्रयम् । देशान्तरे मृते बाले सद्यः शुद्धिर्यतो मृते ॥ १,१०७.

On the sixth day, purity returns after four nights; on the seventh, after three days. If a child dies in a distant land, purity is immediate, because the deceased is a child.

अजातदन्ता ये बाला ये च गर्भाद्विनिः सृताः । न तेषामग्निसंस्कारो न पिण्डं नोदकक्रिया ॥ १,१०७.

Children who have not yet grown teeth, and those who are born prematurely, do not require the fire ritual, nor the offering of rice balls, nor the water rites.

यदि गर्भो विपद्यत स्त्रवते वापि योषितः । यावन्मासं स्थितो गर्भस्तावद्दिनानि सूतकम् ॥ १,१०७.

If the fetus is lost or expelled from a woman, impurity lasts for as many days as the months the fetus remained in the womb.

आनामकरणात्सद्य आचूडान्तादहर्निशम् । आव्रतात्तु त्रिरात्रेण तदूर्ध्वन्दशभिर्दिनैः ॥ १,१०७.

From the naming ceremony, purity is immediate; from the first haircut, it lasts a day and night; from the vow, it lasts three nights; thereafter, it lasts ten days.

आचतुर्थाद्भवेत्स्त्रवः पातः पञ्चमषष्ठयोः । ब्रह्मचर्या दग्निहोत्रान्नाशुद्धिः सङ्गवर्जनात् ॥ १,१०७.

From the fourth day, there is discharge; on the fifth and sixth, there is loss. For students and those who maintain the sacred fire, purity comes from abstaining from contact.
