गतगम्यांतराभ्यस्तं विभजेत्तत्त्वलोचनैः । तदवाप्तफलं योज्यं ज्यापिंडे गतसंज्ञके ॥ ९७ ॥

Transliteration

gatagamyāṃtarābhyastaṃ vibhajettattvalocanaiḥ | tadavāptaphalaṃ yojyaṃ jyāpiṃḍe gatasaṃjñake || 97 ||

Translation

L’intervalle entre le «gata» (ce qui est allé) et le «gamyā» (ce qui doit aller), exercé maintes fois, doit être divisé avec discernement par ceux qui voient clairement les principes; et le fruit ainsi obtenu doit être ajouté au «jyā-piṇḍa» nommé «gata».
