The Ajijnasenya Verses

GriffithEnglish

Here are we sitting east and west and north and south, with waters. Bottle-gourd vessels.

Here east and west and north and south sit the calves sprinkling Curds and oil.

Here east and west and north and south the offering of rice clings on. The leaf of the Asvattha tree.

Here east and west and north and south adheres when touched. That water-drop.

Here east and west and north and south in iron mayst thou not be caught. The cup.

Here east and west and north and south fain would it clasp what would not clasp. Emmet hole.
