1.4
dharmavid dakṣiṇaṃ hastam adhaḥśauce na yojayet | tathā ca vāmahastena nābher ūrdhvaṃ na śodhayet
Having approached Devala, best of sages, / who was seated comfortably on the bank of the Indus, all the sages spoke these words:
One who knows dharma should not use the right hand for cleaning below, nor clean above the navel with the left hand.
