One should start eating his food
…before the wetness of the feet
he washed dries away!
(One should wash their feet before sitting for dining
since most of the people used to go for field work those days)
One should not lie on the bed for sleep
…before the wetness of the feet
he washed dries away!
(One should wash his feet before going to bed
and wipe it dry for health reasons)
These are the basic principles
…and decisions said by the
highly learned persons!

Thank you for the nice comment. As you said, I used to wonder when my father used to wipe his both legs after coming from passing urine and washing his feet and wiping dry before lying down in his bed even at his 90 years.
