Jāmadagnya-Rāmasya Tapaścaraṇam
The Austerities of Rama Jamadagnya
मातापितृसुतादीनां भरणायैव केवलम् / क्रियते प्राणिहननं निजधर्मतया मया
mātāpitṛsutādīnāṃ bharaṇāyaiva kevalam / kriyate prāṇihananaṃ nijadharmatayā mayā
It is solely for the maintenance of my mother, father, children, and others that I perform the killing of living beings, as it is my designated duty.
