snātvā anusavanam tasmin hutvā ca agnīn yathā vidhi ap bhakṣaḥ upaśānta ātmā saḥ āste vigata eṣaṇaḥ
On the banks at Saptasrota, Dhṛtarāṣṭra is now engaged in beginning aṣṭāṅga-yoga by bathing three times daily, in the morning, noon and evening, by performing the Agni-hotra sacrifice with fire and by drinking only water. This helps one control the mind and the senses and frees one completely from thoughts of familial affection.
