तेन कर्मविपाकेन देशमेतं समागतः / स्नानं कुरुष्व शीघ्रं त्वमस्मिन् कुण्डे समाहितः / येनेमां कुत्सितां योनिं क्षिप्रमेव प्रहास्यसि
tena karmavipākena deśametaṃ samāgataḥ / snānaṃ kuruṣva śīghraṃ tvamasmin kuṇḍe samāhitaḥ / yenemāṃ kutsitāṃ yoniṃ kṣiprameva prahāsyasi
त्या कर्माच्या विपाकामुळे तू या स्थानी आला आहेस. म्हणून मन एकाग्र करून या कुंडात शीघ्र स्नान कर; यामुळे तू ही निंद्य योनी लवकरच सोडून देशील.
