kimvā - or; nija-prāṇa - my own life; yadi - if; kari vimocana - I give up; dui - both such actions; yogya nahe - are not befitting; dui śarīra - both the bodies; brāhmaṇa - brāhmaṇas.

Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya continued, “Or, if I give up my own life, this sinful action may be atoned. However, neither of these ideas is befitting because both bodies belong to brāhmaṇas.
