## Trivarnika Achar!
**Verse 141:**
If one does not perform Sandhya at the prescribed times, even while living, they are equal to a Shudra, and after death, they are born as a dog.
**Meaning:** This is a terrifying statement. Its essence is that Trivarnikas should perform Sandhya in the morning, evening, and midday. Without Sandhya, their life in this world and the next is futile. The author's intention is to guide these beings towards the right path, hence the fear they instill. It's not just fear, but the consequences are also dire.
**Verse 142:**
If, due to some reason, the time for Sandhya has passed, then one should bathe and perform Achaman according to the rules, recite 108 Japas, and then begin Sandhya.
**Verse 143:**
In times of national crisis, royal unrest, illness, or during a Sutak (birth or death related ritual impurity), there is no fault in discontinuing Sandhya Vandana.
**Verse 144:**
If a great and auspicious task arises due to Devas, Dwijas, Agni, or Vidya, and Sandhya cannot be performed, there is no harm. Because other virtuous deeds are being performed at that time.
**Offering Mantra:**
Om Hrim Kshvi Upaveshanabhu: Shuddhayatu Swaha.
Cleanse the place of sitting with Darbha (sacred grass) etc., while reciting this mantra.
