किं मे सुहद्भिर्व्यसनं पश्यद्भिर्जीवितान्तरे। इहैव प्रायमासिष्ये पुण्ये सागररोधसि ॥
kiṃ me suhadbhirvyasanaṃ paśyadbhirjīvitāntare| ihaiva prāyamāsiṣye puṇye sāgararodhasi ||
English Meaning
What is the use of suffering my friends to look on my disaster at the last moment of my existence? Therefore even on this sacred shore of the sea shall I sit down to starve myself.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
