te hocuḥ adhi vā aganna tvabhipattuṃ śaknumaḥ sarvaṃ tapa upāyāmeti ta upavasathe 'nāśakamupeyuretadvai sarvaṃ tapo yadanāśakastasmādupavasathe nāśnīyāt
They said, 'It has indeed come nigh unto us, but we cannot lay hold of it: let us undergo the whole (practice of) penance!' On the day of preparation they underwent entire abstention from food; for the whole (practice of) penance it is when one abstains from food: let him therefore eat nothing on the day of preparation.
