Manu’s Instruction
समाप्तजप्यस्तूत्थाय शिरसा पादयोस्तदा । पपात देव्या धर्मात्मा वचन चेदमब्रवीत्
samāptajapyaḥ stūtvā utthāya śirasā pādayos tadā | papāta devyā dharmātmā vacanaṃ cedam abravīt ||
ဘီရှ္မက ပြောသည်– «ဂျပ်ပြီးဆုံးသွားသောအခါ ဓမ္မသဘောရှိသော ဗြာဟ္မဏသည် ထ၍ ဒေဝီ ဆာဝိတြီ၏ ခြေတော်ရင်း၌ ခေါင်းချကာ အပြည့်အဝ ပျပ်ဝပ်ပူဇော် (စಾಷ್ಟာင်္ဂ ပရဏာမ) ပြုလျက် ထိုသို့ ဆို하였다–»
