Earth may renounce her scent, water may renounce its moisture, light may renounce its attribute of exhibiting forms, the wind may renounce its attribute of being perceivable by the touch. The sun may renounce its glory, comet its heat, the sky its sound, moon its cool rays.
त्यजेच पृथिवी गन्धमापश्च रसमात्मनः। ज्योतिस्तथा त्यजेद् रूपं वायुः स्पर्शगुणं त्यजेत्॥ प्रभां समुत्सृजेदर्को धूमकेतुस्तथोप्मताम्। त्यजेच्छब्दं तथाऽऽकाशं सोमः शीतांशुतां त्यजेत्॥१७।
