tanmadhya audumbarīm minoti | annaṃ vā ūrgudumbara udaramevāsya sadastanmadhyato 'nnādyaṃ dadhāti tasmānmadhya audumbarīm minoti
In the middle of it he puts up a (post) of udumbara wood (Ficus Glomerata); for the udumbara means strength and food; now the Sadas being his (Vishnu's belly), he thereby puts food therein; this is why he puts up an udumbara (post) in the middle of it.
