pūrvaṃ “śvā mṛgagrahaṇe” iti mṛgavadhe śvā śucirityetāvadeva vivakṣitam | iha tu tena gṛhīto'nyairvā daṇḍādighāteneti viśeṣaḥ |
uttarārdha ślokārtho vidhīyate | kravyādbhiḥ śyenajambukaprabhṛtibhiḥ | caṇḍālādyaiḥ ādigrahaṇaṃ śvāpadādīnāmabādhāya | dasyavo niṣādavyādhādayaḥ, prāṇivadhajīvinaḥ |

The flies &c. mentioned here, even though coming into contact with ordure and other unclean things, do net become sources of defilement.
