Householder Primacy and the Royal Duty of Punishment

Devanagari script

तान्युपादाय विस्रब्धो भक्षयामास स द्विज: । भाई शंखके आश्रममें जाकर लिखितने खूब पके हुए बहुत-से फल तोड़कर गिराये और उन सबको लेकर वे ब्रह्मर्षि बड़ी निश्चिन्तताके साथ खाने लगे

Transliteration

tāny upādāya visrabdho bhakṣayāmāsa sa dvijaḥ |

Translation

Matapos tipunin ang mga bungang iyon, ang Brahmin—malaya na sa pangamba at ganap na panatag—ay nagsimulang kumain. Ipinakikita ng tagpong ito ang payak at di-marahas na pamumuhay, at ang tahimik na kasiyahang-loob ng isang ascetic na kumukuha lamang ng madaling makuha, walang kasakiman at walang pananakit.
