स कथं तद्गृहे द्वाःस्थः सभाण्डं भोक्तुमर्हति ॥३४॥
brÄhmaṇaiḥ ká¹£atra-bandhur hi
gá¹›ha-pÄlo nirÅ«pitaḥ
sa kathaá¹ tad-gá¹›he dvÄḥ-sthaḥ
sabhÄṇá¸aá¹ bhoktum arhati
The fallen ká¹£atriya is designated as a door-keeper by the brÄhmaṇas. How can he, guarding the door, enter the house and eat the food in the pots?
The protector of the house enters the house and eats items such as ghee which are in pots (sabhandam). How is it proper for the king to boldly enter the hermitage of the sages and ask for water?
