यादृशो ऽअस्य भवेद्) आत्मा यादृशं च चिकीर्षितम् । यथा च-उपचरेद्) एनं तथा-आत्मानं निवेदयेत्) ॥
yādṛśo 'asya bhaved) ātmā yādṛśaṃ ca cikīrṣitam | yathā ca-upacared) enaṃ tathā-ātmānaṃ nivedayet) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As his character is, as the work is which he desires to perform, and as the manner is in which he means to serve, even so (a voluntary slave) must offer himself.
