Having heard all that his friends said, he thus again spoke in sorrow, "I have nothing more to do with virtue, wealth, friendship, affluence, sovereignty and enjoyments. Do not oppose me; leave me all of you. I am firmly resolved to abandon my life by fasting. Go back to the city and worship all my Gurus with respect."
तच्छ्रुत्वा सुहृदश्चैव समन्युरिदमब्रवीत्। न धर्मधनसौख्येन नैश्चर्येण न चाज्ञया॥ नैव भोगैश्च मे कार्यं मा वहन्यत गच्छत। निश्चितेयं मम मतिः स्थिता प्रायोपवेशने॥ गच्छध्वं नगरं सर्वे पूज्याश्च गुरवो मम।
