HYMN CXXXIV

The Ajijnasenya Verses

1Here are we sitting east and west and north and south, with
  waters. Bottle-gourd vessels.
2Here east and west and north and south sit the calves sprinkling
 Curds and oil. p. 371
3Here east and west and north and south the offering of rice
  clings on. The leaf of the Asvattha tree.
4Here east and west and north and south adheres when touched.
 That water-drop.
5Here east and west and north and south in iron mayst thou not
  be caught. The cup.
6Here east and west and north and south fain would it clasp what
  would not clasp. Emmet hole.
