Ethics of Non-attachment
Devanagari script
अयाचितमसंक्लृप्तमुपपन्नं यदृच्छया । कृत्वा प्राह्ने चरेद् भैक्ष्यं विधूमे भुक्तवज्जने
Transliteration
ayācitam asaṅklṛptam upapannaṃ yadṛcchayā | kṛtvā prāhne cared bhaikṣyaṃ vidhūme bhuktavajjane ||
Translation
ವಾಯು ಹೇಳಿದರು—ಯಾಚಿಸದೆ, ಸಂಕಲ್ಪವಿಲ್ಲದೆ, ಯದೃಚ್ಛೆಯಿಂದ ತಾನಾಗಿಯೇ ದೊರಕುವುದನ್ನೇ ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಲಿ. ನಿತ್ಯಕರ್ಮಗಳನ್ನು ನೆರವೇರಿಸಿ ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನ ಭಿಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಹೊರಟು, ಜನರು ಊಟಮಾಡಿ ಮುಗಿಸಿದ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ, ತನ್ನಿಗಾಗಿ ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಬೇಯಿಸದ ‘ಧೂಮರಹಿತ’ ಅನ್ನವನ್ನು ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿ ಭುಂಜಿಸಲಿ.
