[Arvind_Kolhatkar]

In this announcement on on 23rd January is shown a rite called पर्यङ्कशौच on the North Bank of river Tunga.  Can someone explain what it is.

You can get the meaning from the commentary of the video. I dont understand Kannada, probably Bhat sir can help.

It is something related to cleanliness

[KN.Ramesh]

In the video the details about this is told from 13:42 to 14:42.

This is done after the  nootana sanyasi crosses this ocean of samsara taking the Gyana as the boat( Thats why boat is depicted as hamsa).Here the nootana sanyasi crosses tungabhadra river with boat depicted as hamsa.

Rough translation with my little understanding is this: ( I dont know kannada).

It is a part ordained by Dharma sastra's karma bhaaga . This has to be done by a Gruhasta on the nootana Sanyasi. The Gruhasta has to take 5 balls made of mud (or sand...??) He has to wipe 5 times from knees to legs. 5 times wiping on the back side of knee to leg portion,4 times wiping on the front side of knee to leg portion,3 times wiping on the sides of knee to leg portion, 2 times wiping on the legs,1 time on the leg endings, then cleaning of hands 10 times with the mud balls. This is called  पर्यङ्कशौच . Then the nootana sanyasi becomes eligible to sit on Vyakhyaana simhasana.

[G S S Murthy]

Normally one would understand from the word पर्यङ्कशौच "cleaning associated with the bed".

Regards,

Murthy

[Venkata Sriram]

Namaste,

paryanka-shaucha is the prAyaschitta karma performed by those brahmachArIs prior to entering into sanyAsa Ashrama. The vaTu, after upanayana, enters into brahmacharya deekSa.  Till, he gets married, he shouldn't sleep on the bed. So, any doSAs done by brahmachAri ( like accidental sleeping on bed), is washed off by performing this karma called "paryanka-shaucha" which involves applying of mud from hip to feet and chanting of shaucha mantrAs.

regs,

sriram

[Hnbhat B.R.]

"paryanka" means bed, or cot, or beadstead, shaucha means the purification, which is a ritual, as explained by Venkataraman a prayashcitta for lying in the bed as a Brahmacarin as it is prohibited for a brahmacarin.

[KN.Ramesh]

As told in Soundarya lahari verse 8, paramashiva is the paryanka nilayam of Devi.

ParamashivA being the cushion of Devi and the philosophical significance is here:

[Hnbhat B.R.]

Thanks for the link. It is the adjective of Devi herself, as the one
पर्यङ्कनिलया the पर्यङ्क being the cot or beadstead for Devi. It is
the tantric concept of the verse that needed the qualification.

There are 9 commentaries already published in a single volume plus
Tamil and English translation, which can be referred to for different
leavels of meaning.
