The line
Water is what possesses cold touch. The eternal water is the atom, the non-eternal is a product. Its body is in Varuṇa (वरुण)'s world. Its sense is the tongue, at the tip of the tongue, grasping taste. Its object is the river, the ocean, and the rest.
नेपालीमा
जल चिसो स्पर्श भएको हो, नित्य जल परमाणु हो र अनित्य कार्य हो। त्यसको शरीर वरुणको लोकमा छ, इन्द्रिय जिब्रोको टुप्पोमा रहेको रस लिने जिब्रो हो, र विषय नदी, समुद्र र अरू हुन्।
Where it sits
The electronic file had written ntyāḥ (न्त्याः) for the eternal atoms, a dropped i (इ), and śita (शित) with a short i (इ). The sitting reads nityāḥ (नित्याः) and śīta (शीत), cold. Taste is the quality at 20. Fire is 12.
