नीचं शय्याआसनं चअस्य नित्यं स्याद्) गुरुसन्निधौ । गुरोस् तु चक्षुर्विषये न यथाइष्टआसनो भवेत्) ॥
nīcaṃ śayyā.āsanaṃ ca.asya nityaṃ syād) gurusannidhau | guros tu cakṣurviṣaye na yathā.iṣṭa.āsano bhavet) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
When his teacher is nigh, let his bed or seat be low; but within sight of his teacher he shall not sit carelessly at ease.
