A Sūtra-like Manual of Expiations for Ritual Transgressions
तस्य वक्ष्यामि सुश्रॊणि प्रायश्चित्तं मम प्रियम् ॥ किल्बिषाद्येन मुच्येत भेरीताडनमोहितः ॥
tasya vakṣyāmi suśroṇi prāyaścittaṃ mama priyam || kilbiṣādyena mucyeta bherītāḍanamohitaḥ ||
मैं तुम्हे एक उपाय बताता हूँ जो मुझे बहुत पसंद है। यह उपाय किसी भी इंसान को पाप से आज़ाद कर देता है। अगर कोई बिना सोचे भेरी बजा दे, तो यह उपाय उसे साफ कर देता है।
