**Sweat Removal - Penance**

**Explanation**
* **Seyam wa:** "Seyo - Prasveda:" - Slight dry dirt.
* **Jallum wa:** "Thingalam jallo bhanati." - Accumulated dirt - a lot of dirt.
* **Pankam wa:** "Es ev prasveda ullito panko bhanati." - This (above mentioned) dry dirt, when wet by sweat, etc., is called "pank."
* **Or:** "Anno wa jo kaddemo laggo." - Or, any other mud, etc., that sticks to it, is also called "pank." Here, the first meaning is relevant.
* **Malum wa:** "Malo pun uttarmano achcho, renu wa." - That which naturally falls off due to touch, etc., and falls off and stays with it. Or, dust, etc., that sticks to it. (See Churni, page 221)

* **Vishudhan:** "Ase savishudhanam." - To make it completely pure.
This sutra's penance provision indicates that a healthy or capable practitioner should patiently and carefully endure the dirt of the body with a detached attitude.
A practitioner with limited capacity should also have the intention to endure the dirt according to their ability and should not engage in unnecessary actions. The penance mentioned in the sutra is incurred only when such actions are performed without reason. The determination of "unnecessary" or "necessary" depends on the individual's tolerance level. Or, it depends on their state of meditation or meditative state.
