Pāṇimuktā

The thrown from the palm: one turn, 2 samayas, 1 samaya without intake.

Thrown from the palm: the bhāṣya's picture is a thing tossed, which goes out and then along. One bend, two samayas, and in the samaya of the bend the soul takes in nothing.

On the lattice the path is drawn as the bhāṣya names it; the other three are beside it, so the four shapes can be read as one rule: a bend is a samaya, and a samaya on a bend takes nothing in.

समयं गोयम! मा पमायए

Do not be heedless, Gautama, for even a single samaya.
