Verse 105.5
न मुण्डभावो न जटा न पंको नानासनं थण्डिलशायिका वा ।
रजोजलं वोत्कुटुकप्रहाणं दुःखप्रमोक्षं न हि तेन भोति ॥ ५ ॥
na muṇḍabhāvo na jaṭā na paṃko nānāsanaṃ thaṇḍilaśāyikā vā |
rajojalaṃ votkuṭukaprahāṇaṃ duḥkhapramokṣaṃ na hi tena bhoti || 5 ||
Not baldness, nor matted hair, nor mire, nor fasting, nor lying on the bare ground, nor dust and dirt, nor striving when one is squatting on the ground, brings freedom from ill. (5)
