My life is on the point of departure. Hunger has sullied my Vedic learning. I am weak and have lost my senses. I have no scruple about pure and impure food. Although I know it is sinful still I wish to take away that haunch of dog's meat.
अवसीदन्ति मे प्राणाः श्रुतिर्मे नश्यति क्षुधा। दुर्बलो नष्टसंज्ञश्च भक्ष्याभक्ष्यविवर्जितः॥ सोऽधर्मं बुद्ध्यमानोऽपि हरिष्यामि श्वजाघनीम्।
