आक्षिप्तमल्पमूत्रस्य वस्तौ नाभौ च वा मले / स्थित्वा प्लवेच्छनैः पश्चात्सरुजं वाथवारुजम्
ākṣiptamalpamūtrasya vastau nābhau ca vā male / sthitvā plavecchanaiḥ paścātsarujaṃ vāthavārujam
Bagi orang yang hanya membuang air kecil sedikit, najis yang menghalang itu tersangkut di pundi kencing atau di pusat; setelah tinggal di situ, ia merebak perlahan-lahan—kadang-kadang dengan sakit, kadang-kadang tanpa sakit.
