1.21.32

[20] tad evaṃ bhikṣā-niṣṭhānām iva tasminn upatiṣṭhamānānām api śāstrārthaṃ nayamānānāṃ tad avadhārya te vāryācāryā manasi paryālocayāmāsuḥ-hanta ! brāhmaṇā evāsmākam etān brahma-vicāram api viśiṣṭatayā lobhād anuśiṣṭavantaḥ santi | yena tatrāpi kṛta-mukhatayā mukharatām āpannāḥ | bhavatu, tathāpy ete paramebhyayopalabhyamānāḥ kiñcid dāna-rūpam avadānaṃ vinā pratyutādānāya param atrāgatāḥ | aho ! kali-praveśa-deśasya deśa-rūpam idam |
