In another group, I suggested the following solution to this riddle. I don't know if this is the intended meaning. - मेरा गुजारा दो बार उदक पीकर होता है [उ-द्वय], भोजन के लिये मै भक्त/चावल दो बार खाता हूँ [भ-द्वय]। मेरे दाँतों को दधि और दूध [द-द्वय] का स्पर्श नहीं होता है। और मेरे घर में तक्र और तृप्ति [त-द्वय] नहीं हैं।
