এইমত বৈষ্ণব কারে কিছু না মাগিব ।
অযাচিত-বৃত্তি, কিম্বা শাক-ফল খাইব ॥ ২৯ ॥

ei-mata vaisnava kare kichu na magiba

ayacita-vrtti, kimva saka-phala khaiba

ei-mata-in this way; vaisnava-a devotee; kare-from anyone; kichu-anything; na-not; magiba-shall ask for; ayacita-vrtti-the profession of not asking for anything; kimva-or; saka-vegetables; phala-fruits; khaiba-shall eat.

TRANSLATION

Thus a Vaisnava should not ask anything from anyone else. If someone gives him something without being asked, he should accept it, but if nothing comes, a Vaisnava should be satisfied to eat whatever vegetables and fruits are easily available.
