**77.** Achaman should always be performed, even without bathing. A being who performs Achaman is considered pure by the Jina.
**78.** The characteristics and mudras of Sandhya and Achaman will be explained later. Now, the method of bathing will be described.
**79.** Before bathing, one should have their body massaged with oil by another person. This ensures the purification of the entire body and promotes its strength.
**80.** Offer vessels with your own hand, have your body massaged by another person's hand, receive tilak from the Guru's hand, and be served food by your mother.
**81.** Do not massage with oil on Ashtami, Chaturdashi, Panchami, Sunday, and days of fasts.
**82.** Bathing with oil massage on Char Lagna, Monday, Thursday, and empty tithis of both fortnights is a cause of illness.
**83.** A being who bathes on the lunar mansion of Hasta, the star of Rekha, and the lunar mansion of Punarvasu, while observing vows, will not be afflicted by illness.
