यथेद्धः प्रज्वलत्यग्निरसमिद्ध: प्रशाम्यति । अल्पाहारतया त्वग्निं शमयौदर्यमुत्थितम्
Translation
“Como o fogo já aceso: quanto mais combustível se lhe lança, mais ele arde; mas, se não se lhe acrescenta nada, apaga-se por si mesmo. Assim também tu: reduz o alimento e aquieta o ‘fogo do ventre’ (jatharāgni) que se ergueu.”
