The benefits elevate from the therapeutic to the soteriological. Regular practice (asakṛt) of dhauti not only cures physical diseases (kuṣṭha — leprosy, used metaphorically for serious ailments) but addresses the fundamental fear of death.

This connection between physical purification and liberation from psychological suffering is central to Haṭha Yoga. A clean body sustains a clear mind; a clear mind transcends the fear of impermanence.

The promise is bold but consistent with the text’s vision: bodily techniques are gateways to ultimate freedom.
