करीरस्य वधः शस्तः फलान्यौदुम्बरस्य च ॥ सद्योभक्षा भवत्तेन अभक्ष्या पूतिवासिका
karīrasya vadhaḥ śastaḥ phalāny audumbarasya ca || sadyo-bhakṣā bhavat tena abhakṣyā pūti-vāsikā
करीर का पेड़ काट सकते हो, उसकी प्रॉब्लम नहीं। उदुम्बर के फल भी ले सकते हो। यह सब तुरंत खाने के काम का है। लेकिन पुटिवासिका नाम की चीज़ मत खाना, वो ठीक नहीं है।
