sannyāsīre eta khāoyāñā kare dharma nāśa
vairāgī hañā eta khāya, vairāgyera nāhi ‘bhāsa’ ”

sannyāsīre — unto a sannyāsī; eta — so much; khāoyāñā — feeding; kare dharma nāśa — destroys the regulative principles; vairāgī hañā — being in the renounced order; eta — so much; khāya — eats; vairāgyera nāhi bhāsa — there is no trace of renunciation.

“Feeding a sannyāsī too much breaks his regulative principles, for when a sannyāsī eats too much, his renunciation is destroyed.”
