Traditional The Samavartana (Sanskrit: समावर्तन, Samāvartana), also known as Snāna, is a rite of passage in the ancient texts of Hinduism.
Typically, significant time elapsed between exiting Brahmacharya and entering the Grihastha stage of life.
The Taittiriya Upanishad describes, in the eleventh anuvaka of Shiksha Valli, the snataka-dharma recitation emphasized by the teacher to a graduate at this rite of passage.
[7][8] The verses ask the graduate to take care of themselves and pursue Dharma, Artha and Kama to the best of their abilities.
The third section of the eleventh anuvaka lists charity and giving, with faith, sympathy, modesty and cheerfulness, as ethical precepts for the graduating students at the Samavartana rite of passage.
