11. (After voiding) urine he shall clean (the organ once) with earth and water,

11-12. Vasishtha VI, 14, 18. According to Govinda one application of water suffices for the left hand and two for both together.
13-14. Vasishtha VI, 18. Govinda reads in Sätra 14, against the authority of all the MSS., pâyoh, 'for the anus,' instead of pâdayoh, 'for both feet.'
