Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Rolling about’— Lying down on the ground on one side for sometime and then turning over on the other side. He shall pass his time thus rolling about, except during meal-time and the time during which he has to move about, he shall neither sit down nor walk about, nor sit on a bed, or a seat, or a parapet.
‘On tip-toe’—‘prapadaiḥ’.—‘He shall stand’.
‘By standing and sitting’.—During the day; as for the night, it is going to be declared that the man should sleep on the bare ground.
‘At the savanas.’—i.e., in the morning, at midday and in the evening; —‘going to water’.—This indicates that where a river or some such reservoir of water is not available, one may perform his bath even with water pulled out (of a well).—(22).
