He shall always bathe in rivers and in tanks and lakes dug by the gods; as also in water-holes and springs.鈥�(203)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

As a matter of fact, all rivers are 鈥榙ug by the gods;鈥� hence they cannot be both, which would necessitate the differentiation connoted by the epithet; hence the gender of the epithet should be that of the things qualified by it. As for tanks, etc., these are 鈥榙ug by gods鈥� as well as 鈥榙ug by men. (Hence, in their case, the differentiation is necessary). As a matter of fact, these are never actually dug by the gods; all. that is meant to be indicated by the epithet, therefore, is their largeness and importance, due to the fact that people do not remember who dug them.鈥�(203)

 

Explanatory notes by Ganganath Jha

鈥�Garta鈥欌�斺�楶its鈥� (Govindar膩ja and N膩r膩ya峁嘺);鈥斺�榓 small brook whose course does not extend beyond a thousand 顿丑补苍耻峁�, i.e., 2,000 yards鈥� (Kull奴ka).

This verse is quoted in 础辫补谤腻谤办补 (p. 234), which, in explaining the word 鈥�garta鈥�, quotes from K膩ty膩yana to the effect that water-streams that do not run beyond 2004 yards are called 鈥�garta鈥�. This same text is quoted by Kull奴ka as from 颁丑补苍诲辞驳补-辫补谤颈艣颈峁ａ弓补. [Buhler wrongly puts down this name as 鈥�颁丑补苍诲辞驳测补-辫谤颈艣颈峁ａ弓补鈥橾. 鈥斺��笔谤补蝉谤补惫补峁嘺鈥欌�攊s a small water-spring running down from hills.

It is quoted in 惭颈迟腻办峁�a谤腻 (on 1.159), which adds that this rule refers to the daily compulsory bath;鈥攊n 碍腻濒补惫颈惫别办补 (p. 330);鈥攁nd in 痴墨谤补尘颈迟谤辞诲补测补 (膧hnika, p. 181), which adds the following notes:鈥斺��狈补诲墨鈥� should be taken as standing for such streams as never dry up; bathing in small streams which dry up being forbidden;鈥斺��诲别惫补办丑腻迟补鈥� is that which is known as 鈥榙ug by the gods鈥�;鈥斺��迟补岣嵞乬补鈥� is an artificial water-reservoir, which is larger than 1,000 square yards;鈥攚hile 鈥�Saras鈥� is smaller than the 鈥�罢补岣嵞乬补鈥� but larger than 500 square yards; such is the explanation given by 贬别尘腻诲谤颈. According to Kalpataru on the other hand, the 鈥�诲别惫补办丑腻迟补 迟补岣嵞乬补鈥� is such tank as is known to be connected with gods, at the 笔耻峁�k补谤补 lake (near Ajmer), and the 鈥�Saras鈥� is a small stream;鈥攖he 鈥�Garta鈥� is that which has been defined as running upto 2,004 yards;鈥攁nd 鈥�笔谤补蝉谤补惫补峁嘺鈥� is the water-fall.

It is quoted in 贬别尘腻诲谤颈 (艢r膩ddha, p. 867), which has the following notes:鈥斺��狈补诲墨鈥� means a flowing current of water which never dries up completely, bathing in streams that dry up during summer being forbidden鈥斺��诲别惫补办丑腻迟补鈥�, such ditches and pools as are known to have been 鈥榙ug by the gods鈥�,鈥斺��迟补岣嵞乬补鈥�, an artificial, water-reservoir which is over 1,000 and less than 2,000 cubits in size; and 鈥�厂补谤补岣�鈥� is a tank which is over 1,000 cubits in size but smaller than a 罢补岣嵞乬补; 鈥�Garta鈥� is the name given to that reservoir of water whence water does not flow out, and which covers ground 8,000 鈥榖ow-lengths鈥� in size; and 鈥�笔谤补蝉谤补惫补峁嘺鈥� is the water-fall, water flowing down a mountain-side.
