Translation

Better it is, indeed, in this world to accept alms than to slay the most noble teachers. But if I were to kill them, even in this world, all my enjoyments of wealth and fulfilled desires would be stained with their blood.

महानुभाव गुरुजनोंको न मारकर इस लोकमें मैं भिक्षाका अन्न खाना भी श्रेष्ठ समझता हूँ।  क्योंकि गुरुजनोंको मारकर यहाँ रक्तसे सने हुए तथा धनकी कामनाकी मुख्यतावाले भोगोंको ही तो भोगूँगा!
