देवद्विजगुरुप्राज्ञपूजनं शौचमार्जवम् |

ब्रह्मचर्यमहिंसा च शारीरं तप उच्यते || 14||

भावार्थ:

देवता, ब्राह्मण, गुरु (यहाँ ‘गुरु’ शब्द से माता, पिता, आचार्य और वृद्ध एवं अपने से जो किसी प्रकार भी बड़े हों, उन सबको समझना चाहिए।) और ज्ञानीजनों का पूजन, पवित्रता, सरलता, ब्रह्मचर्य और अहिंसा- यह शरीर- सम्बन्धी तप कहा जाता है ॥14॥

Translation

Worship of the Supreme Lord, the Brahmins, the spiritual master, the wise, and the elders—when this is done with the observance of cleanliness, simplicity, celibacy, and non-violence—is declared as the austerity of the body.
