6.9

devāḥ pibanti śiraso mukhasya pitaras tathā | cakṣuṣo 'pi ca gandharvā adhastāt sarvajantavaḥ

At a death or a birth, for female slaves, / and for wives taken in natural order of castes, / purification is equal to that of the master; when the master dies, it is by uterine kinship.

The gods drink (the water wrung) from the head (of the bather's garment), the ancestors from the mouth, the gandharvas from the eyes, and all creatures from below.
