A. Antardhauti B. Dantdhauti C. Hriddhauti D. Kapaldhauti	I. Sheetkrama II. Jihavamoola III. Varisaara IV. Vastra

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• C. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

Hint:

Remember the Dhauti classifications: \[ \text{Antardhauti} \rightarrow \text{Varisaara} \] \[ \text{Dantdhauti} \rightarrow \text{Jihavamoola} \] \[ \text{Hriddhauti} \rightarrow \text{Vastra} \] \[ \text{Kapaldhauti} \rightarrow \text{Sheetkrama} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Dhauti is one of the six purification practices (Shatkarmas) in Hatha Yoga. The Gheranda Samhita classifies Dhauti into several subtypes for cleansing different parts of the body. The question asks to correctly match the categories of Dhauti with their associated techniques.

Step 1: Match “Antardhauti.”
Antardhauti includes internal cleansing practices such as: \[ \text{Varisaara} \] which involves cleansing through water movement. Thus: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Match “Dantdhauti.”
Dantdhauti includes cleansing of teeth, tongue root, ears, and related organs. \[ \text{Jihavamoola} \] (tongue root cleansing) belongs to Dantdhauti. Thus: \[ B \rightarrow II \]

Step 3: Match “Hriddhauti.”
Hriddhauti includes cleansing of the stomach and esophageal region. \[ \text{Vastra Dhauti} \] belongs to this category. Thus: \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match “Kapaldhauti.”
Kapaldhauti includes cleansing practices associated with the head region. \[ \text{Sheetkrama} \] is one of its techniques. Thus: \[ D \rightarrow I \]

Step 5: Write the final matching.
The correct matching is: \[ A \rightarrow III \] \[ B \rightarrow II \] \[ C \rightarrow IV \] \[ D \rightarrow I \] Therefore: \[ \boxed{\text{A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I}} \]

Step 6: Identify the correct option.
The option matching the correct sequence is: \[ \boxed{\text{A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(B)} \]
