Sanskrit Text

विधूमे न्यस्तमुसले व्यङ्गारे भुक्तवज्जने अतीतपात्रसंचारे काले विगतभिक्षुके

English Translation

When the smoke of houses will cease to come out, their hearth-fires having been put out, when husking rods will cease working, and all the inmates will have taken their food, and when mendicants and guests will cease to walk, I shall select a moment for going out a begging and solicit alms at two, three, or five houses at the inost. I shall wander over the Earth, shorn of all desires.
