PURPORT
Śrīla Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya considered that if Amogha were killed, one would suffer sinful reactions for killing the body of a  brāhmaṇa . For the same reason, it would have been undesirable for Bhaṭṭācārya to commit suicide because he also was a  brāhmaṇa . Since neither course could be accepted, Bhaṭṭācārya decided to give up his relationship with Amogha and never see his face.
