मन्दं मन्दं यः पिबेद् गन्धवाहं सौधैः पूरैः साकमन्तः स्रवद्भिः ॥ २० ॥"
Transliteration：
"jihvāṃ kṛtvā'nākulastālumūle dantairdantān gāḍhamāpīḍayitvā ॥
mandaṃ mandaṃ yaḥ pibed gandhavāhaṃ saudhaiḥ pūraiḥ sākamantaḥ sravadbhiḥ ॥ 20 ॥"
Translation： "Take the tongue comfortably at the root of the tongue. Press the teeth closely with each other and gently suck the air. Thus the flow (of nectar) fills one internally."
