Englishद्रव्यशुद्धि / DRAVYAŚUDDHI. Purifying impure things, The mode of purification of impure things, in ancient india, was known as dravyaśuddhi. The procedure of purification was as follows:
If earthern-wares became impure by coming into contact with urine or excreta, they should be burnt in fire. Golden or copper vessels may be remoulded or filled with or dipped in tamarind water. Things made of iron or bronze may be washed in ash-water. Things made of glass or pearl need only be washed in pure water. Things born in water such as lotus etc. could be purified by dipping them in water. If cloth is made impure rub it with soil and dip it in water. If it is a large quantity of cloth, a mixture of soil and water may be sprinkled on it. Wooden things will become pure by planing. Cot, chair, fan, cart etc. need only be washed. Pots used for cooking meat may be touched with cow's milk. Things made of ivory may be washed in mustard-water. Jaggery, salt etc. need only be dried. (agni purāṇa, Chapter 156).
