tāvad rathena gantavyaṃ yāvad rathapathi sthitaḥ |
sthitvā rathapathasthānaṃ ratham utsṛjya gacchati ||3||
രഥപഥത്തിൽ നിലകൊള്ളുന്നത്രയും കാലം രഥത്തിലൂടെയേ പോകേണ്ടത്. രഥപഥത്തിന്റെ അന്തസ്ഥാനത്ത് എത്തി രഥം ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച് മുന്നോട്ട് പോകുന്നു।
One should travel by the chariot only so long as one remains on the chariot-road. Having reached the place that is the chariot-road’s end, one abandons the chariot and goes on.
