A Sūtra-like Manual of Expiations for Ritual Transgressions
तिष्ठेज्जलाशये गत्वा शान्तो दान्तो यतव्रतः ॥ अनन्यमानसो भूत्वा मम चिन्तापरायणः ॥
tiṣṭhejjālāśaye gatvā śānto dānto yatavrataḥ || ananyamānaso bhūtvā mama cintāparāyaṇaḥ ||
फिर किसी तालाब या नदी के पास जाओ। वहाँ शांत रहो, अपने आप को संभालो, व्रत पक्का रखो। सिर्फ मेरे बारे में सोचो, और कोई बात दिमाग में नहीं।
