vipra kahe,—jīvane mora nāhi prayojana
agni-jale praveśiyā chāḍiba jīvana

viprakahe—the brāhmaṇa said; jīvane mora—for my life; nahi—there is not; prayojana—necessity; agni—in fire; jale—in water; praveśiyā—entering; chadiba—I shall give up; jīvana—life. ¶

The brāhmaṇa replied, “I have no reason to live. I shall give up my life by entering either fire or water. ¶
