Garuda Purana

अस्थि चर्म मलं वापि मूषिकां यदि कूपतः । उद्धृत्य चोदकं पञ्च गव्याच्छुद्ध्येत्तु शोधितम् ॥ १,२२२.

If bone, skin, filth, or a mouse falls into a well, after removing it and drawing out five water pots, the water is purified by mixing with five products of the cow.

तडागे पुष्करिण्यादौ भस्मादिं पातयेत्तथा । षट्कुम्भानप उत्द्धृय पञ्चगव्येन शुध्यति ॥ १,२२२.

If ashes or similar substances fall into a tank or lotus pond, after drawing out six water pots, purification is achieved by using the five products of the cow.

स्त्रीरजः पतितं मध्ये त्रिंशत्कुम्भान्समुद्धरेत् । अगम्यागमनं कृत्वा मद्यगोमांसभक्षणम् ॥ १,२२२.

If menstrual blood falls into the middle (of a tank), thirty water pots must be drawn out. After forbidden intercourse, or eating meat and drinking liquor, purification is prescribed.

शुध्ये च्चान्द्रायणाद्विप्रः प्राजापत्येन भूमिपः । वैश्यः सान्तपनाच्छूद्रः पञ्चाहोभिर्विशुध्यति ॥ १,२२२.

A Brāhmaṇa is purified by the Cāndrāyaṇa penance, a Kṣatriya by the Prājāpatya, a Vaiśya by the Sāntapana, and a Śūdra is purified in five days.

प्रायश्चित्ते कृते दद्याद्गवां ब्राह्मणभोजनम् । क्रीडायां शयनीयादौ नीलीवस्त्रं न दुष्यति ॥ १,२२२.

After performing penance, one should offer cows and feed Brāhmaṇas. In play, on bedding, and similar situations, blue cloth is not defiled.

नीलीवस्त्रं न स्पृशेच्च नीली च निरयं ब्रजेत् । व्रह्मघ्नश्च सुरापश्च स्तेयी च गुरुतल्पगः ॥ १,२२२.

One should not touch blue cloth; the indigo plant leads to hell. The slayer of a Brāhmaṇa, drinker of liquor, thief, and violator of the teacher's wife (are condemned).

ऋक्षं दृष्ट्वा विशुध्यन्ते तत्संयोगी च पञ्चमः । ततो धेनुशतं दद्याद्ब्राह्मणानान्तु भोजनम् ॥ १,२२२.

Upon seeing a bear, one is purified, as is a fifth person associated with them. Thereafter, one should give a hundred cows and feed Brāhmaṇas.

ब्रह्महा द्वादशाब्दानि कुटीं कृत्वा वने वसेत् । न्यस्येदात्मानमग्नौ वा सुसमिद्धे सुरापकः ॥ १,२२२.

A Brāhmaṇa-slayer should dwell in a hut in the forest for twelve years; a drinker of liquor should consign himself to a well-kindled fire.

स्तेयी सर्वं वेदविदे ब्राह्मणायोपपादयेत् । वृषमेकं सहस्रं गां दद्याच्च गुरुतल्पगः ॥ १,२२२.

A thief should restore everything to a Brāhmaṇa learned in the Vedas; the violator of the teacher's wife should give a thousand bulls and cows.

कृतपापश्चरेद्रोधे द्वौ पादौ बन्धयन्पशोः । सर्वकृच्छ्रं निपानेस्यात्कान्तारे गृहदाहतः ॥ १,२२२.

One who has committed a sin should wander in a pen, binding two legs like a beast; he should perform the most severe penance in a deserted place, or after his house has been burned.

कण्ठाभरणदोषेण कृच्छ्रपादं मृते गवि । अस्थिभङ्गं गवां कृत्वा शृङ्गभङ्गमथापि वा ॥ १,२२२.

For the offense of wearing a neck ornament, one should perform the Kṛcchra penance if a cow dies; for breaking the bones or horns of cows, likewise.

त्वग्भेदं पुच्छनाशे वा मासार्धं यावकं पिबेत् । सर्वं हस्त्यश्वशस्त्राद्यैर्निश्चयं कृच्छ्रमेव तु ॥ १,२२२.

For breaking the skin or loss of the tail, one should drink barley-water for half a month. For all offenses involving elephants, horses, or weapons, the Kṛcchra penance is prescribed.

अज्ञानात्प्राश्य विण्मूत्रं सुरासंस्पृष्टमेव च । पुनः संस्कारमायान्ति त्रयो वर्णा द्विजातयः ॥ १,२२२.

If, out of ignorance, one consumes feces, urine, or touches liquor, the three twice-born castes must undergo re-sanctification.

वपनं मेख्ला दण्डो भैक्ष्यचर्याव्रतानि च । निवर्तन्ते द्विजातीनां पुनः संस्कारकर्मणि ॥ १,२२२.

Shaving, the sacred girdle, staff, and vows of begging—these observances are repeated for the twice-born at the time of re-sanctification.

आममांसं घृतं क्षौद्रं स्नेहश्च कालसम्भवाः । अन्त्यभाण्डस्थिताः सर्वे निष्क्रान्ताः शुचयः स्मृताः ॥ १,२२२.

Raw meat, ghee, honey, and oils that have aged, all kept in impure vessels, are considered pure once removed from them.

तैलादिघृतमाध्वीकं पण्यद्रव्यं द्रवस्तथा । एकभक्तं क्रमान्नक्तं एकैकाहमयाचितम् । उपवासः पादकृच्छ्रं कृच्छार्धद्विगुणं हि यत् ॥ १,२२२.

Oil, clarified butter, honey, merchandise, and other liquids; eating once a day, eating in sequence, eating at night, eating only for one day, begging for food for a single day, fasting, and the pādakṛcchra penance—all these are considered half or double the kṛcchra, depending on the practice.

प्राजापत्यन्तु तत्स्याच्च सर्वपातकनाशनम् । कृच्छ्रं सप्तोपवासैश्च महासान्तपनं स्मृतम् ॥ १,२२२.

The prājāpatya penance is said to be so, and it destroys all sins. The kṛcchra penance, performed with seven fasts, is known as the great sāntapana.

त्र्यहमुष्णं पिबेच्छापः त्र्यहमुष्णं पयः पिबेत् । त्र्यमुष्णं पिबेत्सर्पिस्तप्तकृच्छ्रमघापहम् ॥ १,२२२.

For three days, one should drink hot water; for three days, hot milk; for three days, hot clarified butter. This is the heated kṛcchra, which removes sin.

द्वादशाहोपवासेन पराकः सर्वपापहा । एकैकं वर्धयेत्पिण्डं शुक्ले कृष्णे च ह्रासयेत् ॥ १,२२२.

By fasting for twelve days, the parāka penance removes all sins. One should increase the portion each day during the bright fortnight and decrease it during the dark fortnight.

पयः काञ्चनवर्णायाः श्वेतवर्णं च गोमयम् । गोमूत्रं ताम्रवर्णाया नीलवर्णभवं घृतम् ॥ १,२२२.

Milk is for those of golden color; cow dung for those of white color; cow urine for those of copper color; clarified butter for those of blue color.

दधि स्यात्कृष्णवर्णाया दर्भोदकसमायुतम् । गोमूत्रमाषकाण्यष्टौ गोमयस्य चतुष्टयम् ॥ १,२२२.

Curd is for those of black color, mixed with darbha water; eight beans are for cow urine, and four for cow dung.

क्षीरस्य द्वादश प्रोक्ता दध्नस्तु दश उच्यते । घृतस्य माषकाः पञ्च पञ्चगव्यं मलापहम् ॥ १,२२२.

Twelve beans are prescribed for milk, ten for curd, five for clarified butter. The pañcagavya removes impurities.

श्रीगरुडमहापुराणम् २२३ ब्रह्मोवाच मुनिभिश्चरिता धर्मा भक्त्या व्यास मयोदिताः । यैर्विष्णुस्तुष्यते चैव सूर्यादिपरिचारणात् ॥ १,२२३.

Brahma said: The righteous duties practiced by sages with devotion, as taught by me and Vyāsa, are those by which Viṣṇu is pleased, including service to the Sun and others.

तर्पणेन च होमेन सन्ध्याया वन्दनेन च । प्राप्यते भगवान् विष्णुर्धर्मकामार्थमोक्षदः ॥ १,२२३.

Through offerings, oblations, and worship at the time of twilight, the blessed Lord Viṣṇu is attained, who grants righteousness, desire, wealth, and liberation.

धर्मो हि भगवान्विष्णुः पूजी विष्णोस्तु तर्पणम् । होमः सन्ध्या तथा ध्यानं धारणा सकलं हरिः ॥ १,२२३.

Dharma is indeed the blessed Lord Viṣṇu; worship of Viṣṇu is the offering; oblation, twilight worship, meditation, and concentration—all are Hari.

सूच उवाच । प्रलयं जगतो वक्ष्ये तत्सर्वं शृणु शौनक । चतुर्युगसहस्रन्तु कल्पैकाब्जदिनं स्मृतम् ॥ १,२२३.

Sūca said: I will describe the dissolution of the world; listen to all of it, O Śaunaka. A thousand cycles of four ages make one day of Brahma, known as a kalpa.

कृतत्रेताद्वापरादियुगावस्था निबोधमे । कृते धर्मश्चतुष्पाच्च सत्यं दानं तपो दया ॥ १,२२३.

Understand the conditions of the ages—Kṛta, Tretā, Dvāpara, and Kali. In the Kṛta age, dharma stands on four legs: truth, charity, austerity, and compassion.

धर्मपाता हरिश्चेति सन्तुष्टा ज्ञानिनो नराः । चतुर्वर्षसहस्राणि नरा जीवन्ति वै तदा ॥ १,२२३.

When dharma declines, Hari is present, and the wise are content. In that age, humans live for four thousand years.

कृतान्ते क्षत्त्रियैर्विप्रा विट्शूद्राश्च जिता द्विजैः । शूरश्चातिबलो विष्णू रक्षांसि च जघान ह ॥ १,२२३.

At the end of the Kṛta age, the kṣatriyas conquered the brāhmaṇas, the vaiśyas, and the śūdras were subdued by the twice-born. The mighty and valiant Viṣṇu destroyed the demons.
