Devanagari script

अन्नशुद्धौ सत्त्वशुद्धिर् न मृदा न जलेन वै सत्त्वशुद्धौ भवेत्सिद्धिस् ततो ऽन्नं परिशोधयेत्

Transliteration

annaśuddhau sattvaśuddhir na mṛdā na jalena vai sattvaśuddhau bhavetsiddhis tato 'nnaṃ pariśodhayet

Translation

Daripada kesucian makanan lahir kesucian sattva dalam diri—bukan semata-mata kerana tanah atau air. Apabila sattva menjadi suci, siddhi (pencapaian rohani) tercapai; maka hendaklah seseorang menyucikan makanannya.
