[327] Sujāta was he by name, a disciple of those of developed self (bhāvitatta);
longing for a celestial nymph (accharā), he neither ate nor drank.
As one who has taken up water on the tip of a blade of kusa grass might measure it against the water in the ocean,
even so are human sensual pleasures (kāmā) in the presence of divine pleasures.
Just so, O Kāḷa, having eaten the fare supreme in taste,
not obtaining human flesh, I think I shall give up my life.
