Senses and body exhausted, thirsty and hungry, after bathing in a pool of a river, I performed ācamana and took rest.

Purport

A traveling mendicant can meet the needs of the 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.
