I don't know. Urine in the bladder should have no dirt in it. Occasionally some dead cells from the bladder wall perhaps, but a tiny, tiny amount. Being a solution, the urine itself should not 'settle'. Perhaps we can improve on the intuitions of the Rishis, as other rishis do?
Or perhaps they speak from experience of which I am unaware. But my own experience has been that I have noticed no difference at all between middle and late urine.

The 'dirt' reference was just a metaphor...
I personally believe they percieve something we do not.

If they did, it wouldn't be the first time. :) OK, you've convinced me. I think I'll take your advice on this. Thanks.
