Shloka : 30

अगालितं न पातव्यं पानीयं च पयस्तथा ।

स्नानादि नैव कर्तव्यं सूक्ष्मजन्तुमयाम्भसा ॥ 30 ॥

અને ગાળ્યા વિનાનું જળ તથા દૂધ તે ન પીવું અને જે જળને વિષે ઝીણા જીવ ઘણાક હોય તે જળે કરીને સ્નાનાદિક ક્રિયા ન કરવી. ॥ 30 ॥

And one should not drink unfiltered water and milk and the water in which there are small insects should not be used for having bath or any such purpose. || 30 ||

Commentary

Water, which is not filtered using a cloth, should not be used for drinking purpose, because by drinking unfiltered water there is a possibility of consuming meat. By consuming unfiltered water for one day, one commits the sin equal to the sins gathered by a fisherman by catching fish for six months.

And the term, 'milk' indicates that milk, ghee(butter), oil, etc. all the liquids should be heated up on proper heat, filtered and purified before consuming them.

And the milk obtained from one hoofed mare, female camel or female sheep should never be consumed. Milk obtained from a cow, a buffallo or a goat who has delivered a baby not even ten days ago should not be cosumed. Curd should not be consumed during night or in the evenings.

Moreover, the water, which is full of small insects, should not be used even for bathing or any such purposes. That means it should not be used to perform ablutions as a part of bathing, to clean the hands and legs, to wash the clothes to clean the ves­sels etc.. Otherwise, by destroying the minute insects, the sin of violence is committed. Therefore, such acts should not be commit­ted knowingly.
