According to Ayurvedic principles, it is advised to trim nails, mustache, and beard after five nights (or five days). Head hair should also be cut during this period. This practice is believed to lead to gains in dignity, longevity, purity, and radiance.

• Sloka:
  “पञ्चरात्रं च यः कर्ता नखानि तु च लिङ्गतः।
  मूर्ध्ना च कट्यते कस्य न हि तत्र विशेषतः॥”
  (Translation: "One who trims their nails, mustache, and beard after five nights gains dignity and radiance.")

The regular trimming of hair and nails provides several benefits:

• Gains in Dignity: Maintaining neat and trimmed facial and body hair enhances personal appearance.

• Promotes Longevity: Regular grooming is associated with health and well-being.

• Purity and Radiance: These practices contribute to a sense of cleanliness and enhance one's aura.

• Hair Care: Combing hair with a comb (fahnee) is beneficial as it removes dirt and impurities, promoting healthy hair.

• Sloka:
  “विभाव्यन्ते च हर्षात् तु धारणं च गृहे विना।
  अविकारो हि तत्र स्यात्।”
  (Translation: "Without proper grooming, the natural beauty and joy of life diminish.")

Precautions:

• Nasal Hair: It is important never to pluck nasal hair, as this can cause immediate discomfort in vision.
• Combing: Hair should be carefully combed to maintain its health and cleanliness.
