In his  Bhakti-sandarbha  (265), Jīva Gosvāmī further quotes from Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam  (10.74.40):
nindāṁ bhagavataḥ śṛṇvan tat-parasya janasya vā tato nāpaiti yaḥ so ‘pi yāty adhaḥ sukṛtāc cyutaḥ
“If one does not immediately leave upon hearing the Lord or the Lord’s devotee blasphemed, he falls down from devotional service.” Similarly, Lord Śiva’s wife Satī states in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (4.4.17):
karṇau pidhāya nirayād yad akalpa īśe dharmāvitary asṛṇibhir nṛbhir asyamāne chindyāt prasahya ruśatīm asatīṁ prabhuś cej jihvām asūn api tato visṛjet sa dharmaḥ
“If one hears an irresponsible person blaspheme the master and controller of religion, he should block his ears and go away if unable to punish him. But if one is able to kill, then one should by force cut out the blasphemer’s tongue and kill the offender, and after that he should give up his own life.”
TEXT 262
কিন্তু নিজ-প্রাণ যদি করি বিমোচন । 
    তুই যোগ্য নহে, তুই শরীর ত্রাহ্মণ ॥ ২৬২ ॥
kimvā nija-prāņa yadi kari vimocana dui yogya nahe, dui śarīra brāhmaṇa
SYNONYMS
kimvā —or;  nija-prāņa —my own life;  yadi —if;  kari vimocana —I give up;  dui —both such actions;  yogya nahe —are not befitting;  dui śarīra —both the bodies;  brāhmaṇa — brāhmaṇas .
TRANSLATION
Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya continued, “Or, if I give up my own life, this sinful action may be atoned. However, neither of these ideas are befitting because both bodies belong to brāhmaṇas.
