Avadhuta Upanishad: Verse 4
तस्य प्रियं शिरः कृत्वा मोदो दक्षिणपक्षकः । प्रमोद उत्तरः पक्ष आनन्दो गोष्पदायते॥४॥
तस्य । प्रियम् । शिरः । कृत्वा । मोदः । दक्षिण-पक्षकः । प्रमोदः । उत्तरः । पक्षः । आनन्दः । गोष्पदायते ॥४॥
tasya priyaṃ śiraḥ kṛtvā modo dakṣiṇapakṣakaḥ | pramoda uttaraḥ pakṣa ānando goṣpadāyate ||4||
ಅವನು ‘ಪ್ರಿಯ’ವನ್ನು ಶಿರಸ್ಸಾಗಿ, ‘ಮೋದ’ವನ್ನು ಬಲಪಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ, ‘ಪ್ರಮೋದ’ವನ್ನು ಎಡಪಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಆಗ ‘ಆನಂದ’ವೂ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಗೋವಿನ ಖುರಚಿಹ್ನೆಯಷ್ಟು ಅಲ್ಪವಾಗಿಬಿಡುತ್ತದೆ।
Making ‘Priya’ his head, ‘Moda’ the right wing, ‘Pramoda’ the left wing, ‘Ānanda’ becomes (for him) like the footprint of a cow (i.e., very small).
