येन सप्ताभिरंगा च द्विगुणप्लाशा च पादपाः ।
येन अशेशि न तेन व्रजेसि न तेन अशेसि ॥ १२ ॥
yena saptābhiraṃgā ca dviguṇaplāśā ca pādapāḥ |
yena aśeśi na tena vrajesi na tena aśesi || 12 ||
Where the meal and the gruel are, and the twin-leafed Judas trees. Go by the hand wherewith I eat, not by the hand wherewith I eat not. (12)
