He stands up to play at Phugdi; they look on each other’s faces without shame. “Phugdi ho! Leave the world, leave the world behind you; then you will know what sweetness is. Speak out the lesson you learnt of old; as you bind up your scattered locks and knot them on your back, so bind up the three motions of sense and control the base of your spine. Govern your feet that press forward; you will win for yourself honour and the approval of the three worlds.” Tuka says, There is one spirit between us; let us take the weight with an even balance; we will reach the highest spot.
