Translation
If dirt dug up by a boar is available, on the day of the dark moon one should smear this dirt on the body and then bathe in a river. One should chant the following mantra. This describes the actions on the day before beginning the vow. On the dark moon day, one should smear the body with earth dug up by a boar, if available, and bath in a river if available. The phrase “if available” serves both phrases like the eyeball of a crow. [Note: Kāka-golokākṣi-nāyā. The crow is said to have one eyeball, and moves it from one socket to the other as required. Similarly one phrase can be applied to two items where required in the sentence.]
