चक्रतीर्थं समासाद्य स्नानं स कुरुते सदा ॥ न भिक्षां कुरुते तत्र भोजनार्थं न गच्छति ॥
cakratīrthaṃ samāsādya snānaṃ sa kurute sadā || na bhikṣāṃ kurute tatra bhojanārthaṃ na gacchati
Setibanya di Cakratīrtha, dia sentiasa melakukan mandi suci di sana; dia tidak meminta sedekah di situ, dan tidak pula keluar untuk mencari makanan.
