In the ancient discourse, a profound question arises regarding the state of a woman during her menstrual cycle. If such a condition exists, it is explained that in matters of eating or simply sustaining the body, she does not incur any fault—even if she eats while menstruating. There is no impurity attached to her actions during this time. With reverence, the speaker bows to the ancient, beginningless, endless, unborn, and divine Lord, affirming that whatever actions a menstruating woman performs, she is never defiled by them. On the fifth day, after bathing, the woman resumes her duties as appropriate, her mind fixed in devotion to the Lord, performing her tasks with dedication and purity. The Earth, personified, then asks: “How are these women freed from fault and from the bondage of birth and worldly existence?” Śrī Varāha responds, illuminating the path: “Through the yoga of renunciation in me, one who is devoted to my actions, with a single-pointed mind, firm in vow, and established in renunciation, attains freedom. Or, if one desires the highest state, it is achieved through the yoga of knowledge and renunciation. Yet, mind, intellect, and consciousness are not fully under the control of embodied beings. Those who approach with an even mind are not tainted, O humans. If the mind remains equal in me, then for that person, action does not bind. Whatever action one performs is like a lotus leaf resting in water—untouched by impurity.” Whether it is night or day, for a moment, an instant, or even a fraction of time, always—by day and night—people perform various kinds of actions. Whether awake or asleep, hearing or seeing, even a wicked outcaste or a Brahmin who has strayed from the path, those who perform sacrifices, who know all duties and are refined by knowledge and discipline, and those who perform my actions, taking refuge in me within their hearts—these, whose minds are truly at peace, O Devi, are dear to me. But those whose minds are deluded, O lowest of men, encounter suffering. Therefore, setting aside knowledge and yoga, with a single-pointed mind, one should worship me. He whose mind is always fixed on me, who worships me with steadfast vow, is blessed. O Earth, I myself created all this for the sake of beings. With a single-pointed mind, if one wishes to please me, then his ancestors—ten generations before and ten generations after—are liberated. Abandoning desire and delusion, for the sake of the ancestors, one should approach a wife, but he should not touch a third woman, and never a fourth. Afterwards, he should bathe in water and put on clean garments. It is said, without doubt, that his ancestors partake of the semen—such is the mysterious connection. But he who acts thus on the third or fourth day is considered a base man. At the proper time, enjoyment with all women is permitted for the sake of progeny. Yet the low man who refrains out of anger or delusion does not proceed. Śrī Varāha continues: “I will tell you something else, listen to it, O Earth. By their actions, those devoted to me attain my abode. Knowledge, yoga, and Sāṃkhya do not exist without reliance upon the mind. But he who, becoming a devotee, abides at the proper time—when the fourth day arrives, O Earth—afterwards, one should cleanse the impurities of the head by bathing. Then, making the intellect and mind tranquil, O Earth, such a person is blessed.” Thus, the Lord teaches that devotion, purity of mind, and proper action liberate one from fault and bondage, guiding all beings toward peace and the divine abode.
