rājanya-bandhavaḥ - relatives of kṣatriyas; hi - indeed; ete - these; brahma - of brāhmaṇas; liṅgāni - the signs; bibhrati - they are wearing; dadāni - I should give; bhikṣitam - what is begged; tebhyaḥ - to them; ātmānam - my own body; api - even; dustyajam - impossible to give up.

[Jarāsandha thought:] These are surely members of the royal order dressed as brāhmaṇas, but still I must grant their request for charity, even if they beg me for my own body.
