सुवर्णपात्रीं च उदग्रचित्तो भृंगारं गृह्य रतनविचित्रं ।
अष्टाङ्गपेतं शुभपारिपूर्णं तद आचमेसि ऋषि बोधिसत्वो ॥ २१ ॥
suvarṇapātrīṃ ca udagracitto bhṛṃgāraṃ gṛhya ratanavicitraṃ |
aṣṭāṅgapetaṃ śubhapāripūrṇaṃ tada ācamesi ṛṣi bodhisatvo || 21 ||
Exultantly the Bodhisattva took the golden vessel, the pitcher, which sparkled with gems, was perfectly formed and entirely beautiful, and then the Seer rinsed (his mouth). (21)
