यत्स्याद्भवादृशां योग्यमर्चनं तद्वदाम्यहम् ॥ ९ ॥

puṣpadhūpārcanaṃ brahmankalpitaṃ bālabuddhiṣu |
yatsyādbhavādṛśāṃ yogyamarcanaṃ tadvadāmyaham || 9 ||

Adoration with flowers and incense, is inculcated to childish understandings (and not for the wise). I will tell you now, the worship that is worthy of men enlightened like yourself.
