[Full title: A note on the 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补 by 顿腻尘辞诲补谤补 惭颈艣谤补 (1) Significance of the name 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补]

From the internal evidences of the text of the present work it is learnt that, 顿腻尘辞诲补谤补 惭颈艣谤补 favored two reasons to name his work 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补 (骋补峁単腻箩补濒补).

Firstly the author at the colophon of the 辫谤腻测补艣肠颈迟迟补辫谤补办补谤补峁嘺 clearly stated a similitude between the sacred water of the river 骋补峁単腻 with that of his work 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补^[1] Here may be mentioned one precept from the 艢补迟补辫补迟丑补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺^[2] It says jala (water) is medhya with which a vratin should rinse his body following 腻肠补尘补苍补办峁泃测补 so as to make himself medhya to undertake religious rites. Holy 骋补峁単腻 is found mentioned in the 箩补濒补艣耻诲诲丑颈尘补苍迟谤补, the water of which stands as a means of purification. It is a living pan-Indian tradition prevalent in the brahmanical culture. So, the intrinsic power that the water of the river 骋补峁単腻 possesses is obviously highly pragmatic for those who follow Vedic way of life. Similarly the prescripts incorporated in the 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补 will be able to satisfy people of the brahmanical faith relieving them from the eventualities if they commit in this mundane world.

The second reason is found stated at the beginning of the 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补 II The subject matter of 顿丑补谤尘补艣腻蝉迟谤补 due to its vastness and depth is comparable only to that of an ocean which is not accessible to an ordinary person. So to make the 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补 quite intelligible to the learners the author purposefully composed 骋补峁単腻箩补濒补 to deliver them from ignorance.^[2]
