Uttanka, thus addressed, thought for a while and then replied, “ Yes, it is so. As I was in a hurry, I performed my ablutions when I was walking." Paushya said, "This is a transgression. Ablutions cannot properly be performed standing or walking in a hurry.”
अथैवमुक्त उत्तङ्कः स्मृत्वोवाचास्ति खलु मयोत्थितेनोपस्पृष्टं गच्छता चेति। तं पौष्यः प्रत्युवाच एष ते व्यतिक्रमो नोत्थितेनोपस्पृष्टं भवतीति शीघ्रं गच्छता चेति॥
