यतो यवा कदाख्या च कोविदारा च फुल्लिता ।
वामं मार्गं ग्रहेत्वान गच्छामि यवकच्छकं ॥ १३ ॥

yato yavā kadākhyā ca kovidārā ca phullitā |
vāmaṃ mārgaṃ grahetvāna gacchāmi yavakacchakaṃ || 13 ||

This is the way to Yavakacchaka; if you are clever find it. Where the sparse barley grows and the ebony tree is in bloom, this way I’ll take and go to Yavakacchaka. (13)
