तथाऽभियाचितो देवैर्ऋऋषिराथर्वणो महान् ।
'किन्नु तद्दुस्त्यजं ब्रह्मन्पुंसां भूतानुकम्पिनाम् ॥'

The great sage Dadhichi was
accordingly besought by the gods (for
his limbs ) : "O Brahmin ! for men who
are compassionate towards beings, what
is there that is too hard to part with?"
 
ऋषिः-
★ योऽध्रवेणात्मना नाथा न धर्म च यशः पुमान् ।
ईहेत भूतदयया स शोच्यः स्थावरैरपि ॥'
 
-
 
The sage-
"Masters! he is to be pitied even by
inanimate things who, with kindness to
beings, desires not (to secure) through
his impermanent body Dharma or fame."
 
एवं कृतव्यवसितो दध्यङ्काथर्वणस्तनुम् ।
परे भगवति ब्रह्मण्यात्मानं संनयञ्जहौ ॥
 
Having determined thus. Dadhichi
offered his soul to the Suprenie Lord, the
Brahman, and gave up his body.
