A verse on what the sandhyā of the renounced is like, and it is transmitted corruptly: the first word reads unreliably in our witnesses, and I have left it as printed rather than substitute a guess.
The general sense, however, is clear from what stands beside it.
This sandhyā is called vāk-kāya-kleśa-varjitā — “free of the toil of speech and body”. Without utterance, that is, and without bodily labour: no ablutions, no libations, no counting of mantras.
Then — saṃdhinī sarvabhūtānām, “joining all beings”. A prayer that joins not the one praying with a god, but all with all.
And it is named whose it is: ekadaṇḍin — “bearing one staff”. So are called renouncers of a certain rank, as distinct from the “three-staffed”.
Here is the point to pause on. The book did not repeal the sandhyā for the renounced — it gave him his own.
The same measure we saw in the first verse of this chapter: who has the rite, wears the cord; who does not — wears the inner one. Nothing is taken away without replacement.
