मनःकर्णसुखा नित्यं शृण्वन्नुच्चावचा गिरः मुदितानामरण्येषु वसतां मृगपक्षिणाम्

Enduring cold, wind, and heat, as also hunger and thirst and toil, I shall emaciate my body by penances as sanctioned by the scriptures. I shall daily listen to the clear notes of happy birds and animals living in the forest, which please the heart and the ear.
