TRANSLATION

And in return for King Indra’s benediction that water would in-
crease the volume of other substances with which it was mixed,
water accepted one fourth of the sinful reactions. Therefore there
are bubbles and foam in water. When one collects water, these

should be avoided.
PURPORT

If water is mixed with milk, fruit juice or other similar substances, it
increases their volume, and no one can understand which has increased.
In return for this benediction, water accepted one fourth of Indra’s sin-
ful reactions. These sinful reactions are visible in foam and bubbles.
Therefore one should avoid foam and bubbles while collecting drinking
water.
