> প্রাণ-রক্ষা লাগি’ যেবা করেন ভক্ষণ ।\
> তাহা খাঞা আপনাকে কহে নির্বেদ-বচন ॥৩১৩॥

> prāṇa-rakṣā lāgi' yebā karena bhakṣaṇa\
> tāhā khāñā āpanāke kahe nirveda-vacana

*prāṇa-rakṣā lāgi'*—to maintain life; *yebā*—whatever; *karena bhakṣaṇa*—he ate; *tāhā khāñā*—eating that; *āpanāke*—to himself; *kahe*—said; *nirveda-vacana*—words of reproach.

**Whatever he ate was only to keep his body and soul together, and when he ate he would reproach himself thus.**
