सर्वेण गांगेन जलेन सम्यङ् मृत्पर्वतेनाप्यथ भावदुष्टः ॥ आजन्मनः स्नानपरो मनुष्यो न शुध्यतीत्येव वयं वदामः ॥ २१ ॥

sanskrit

We assert that a man of vicious instinct and feeling never becomes pure though he may indulge in ablutions throughout his life with all the waters of the Gaṅgā and a mountain of sand.

sanskrit

If a man of defiled emotion gets himself burnt after entering a huge blazing fire kindled by sprinkling ghee and oil and with flames of circular motion he does not become pure.

गंगादितीर्थेषु वसंति मत्स्या देवालये पक्षिगणाश्च नित्यम् ॥ भावोज्झितास्ते न फलं लभंते तीर्थावगाहाच्च तथैव दानात् ॥ २३ ॥

sanskrit

Fishes stay in the holy Gaṅgā and other sacred rivers. Flocks of birds stay in the temple. They do not attain any special benefit from the ceremonial ablutions and charitable gifts since they are devoid of holy feelings.

भावशुद्धिः परं शौचं प्रमाणे सर्वकर्मसु ॥ अन्यथाऽऽलिंग्यते कांता भावेन दुहितान्यथा ॥ २४ ॥

sanskrit

It is the purity of the feelings that is the criterion for the sanctity of rites. The wife is embraced with one feeling and the daughter is embraced with another.

Feelings are different in the mind even if the objects are not different. The same woman is looked at in one way by the son and in another way by the husband.
