pitva—and drinking water also; hrade—in the lake; nadyah—of a river;

TRANSLATION

Thus travelling, I felt tired, both bodily and mentally, and I was both
thirsty and hungry. So I took a bath in a river lake and also drank water.
By contacting water, I got relief from my exhaustion.

PURPORT

A travelling mendicant can meet the needs of body, namely thirst and
hunger, by the gifts of nature without being a beggar at the doors of the
householders. The mendicant therefore does not go to the house of a
householder to beg but to enlighten him spiritually.
