Recitation with translationAvadhuta Upanishad 4

tasya priyaṃ śiraḥ kṛtvā modo dakṣiṇapakṣakaḥ | pramoda uttaraḥ pakṣa ānando goṣpadāyate ||4||

เมื่อทำให้ ‘ปริยะ’ เป็นศีรษะ ‘โมทะ’ เป็นปีกขวา และ ‘ปรโมทะ’ เป็นปีกซ้ายแล้ว ‘อานันทะ’ ก็เป็นดุจรอยกีบโคสำหรับเขา คือเล็กน้อยยิ่งนัก

Making ‘Priya’ his head, ‘Moda’ the right wing, ‘Pramoda’ the left wing, ‘Ānanda’ becomes (for him) like the footprint of a cow (i.e., very small).
