PURPORT

Stila Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya considered that if Amogha were killed, one
would suffer sinful reactions for killing the body of a brahmana. For the same
reason, it would have been undesirable for Bhattacarya to commit suicide be-
cause he also was a brahmana. Since neither course could be accepted, Bhat-
tacarya decided to give up his relationship with Amogha and never see his face.
