mṛdambubhasmanā tāta ! prokṣitavyaṃ viśuddhaye /
audumbarāṇāmamlena kṣāreṇa trapusīsayoḥ //

Things infested with hair-lice, or sniffed at by cattle, or infested with ñies should be sprinkled with earth water and ashes to be cleansed, my son; things made of udumbara wood[2] with vinegar; tin and lead with salt. Brass things are cleaned with ashes and water; and the over-flows of fluids are pure. A thing soiled by ordure is cleaned with earth and water and by removing the smell; and other such-like things by removing the colour and smell.
