yo dveṣam udāchinatty aśeṣaṃ bisapuṣpam iva jaleruhaṃ vigāhya |
sa tu bhikṣur idaṃ jahāty apāraṃ hy urago jīrṇam iva tvacaṃ purāṇam |18,21B|
23. The Bhixu who cuts off every particle of hatred, as one does the flower from the water-born (lotus) growing in a tank, casts off what is and is not of the other shore, as a snake shuffles off his old dried-up skin.
