Sanskrit Text
यथा
चोत्तापितं
बीजं
कपाले
यत्र
तत्र
वा
।
प्राप्याप्यङ्कुरहेतुत्वमबीजत्वान्न
जायते
॥
English Translation
As a seed, fried on a pan or otherwise, becomes unfit to sprout forth although the power for sprouting lies there, similarly my understanding having been freed from the productive principle formed by desire, by the instructions of the holy Panchashikha of the mendicant order, it no longer gives its fruit in the form of attachment to the objects of the senses.
