Araṇya-kāṇḍa
Chapter 56: Sītā is Taken to Aśoka-vana
Text 3.57.21
इदं शरीरं निःसंज्ञं बन्ध वा खादयस्व वा।
नेदं शरीरं रक्ष्यं मे जीवितं वापि राक्षस॥
idaṁ śarīraṁ niḥsaṁjñaṁ bandha vā khādayasva vā
nedaṁ śarīraṁ rakṣyaṁ me jīvitaṁ vāpi rākṣasa
idam = this; śarīram = body; niḥsaṁjñam = senseless; bandha vā = bind; khādayasva = eat [it up]; vā = or; na = not; idam = this; śarīram = body; rakṣyam me = I do bother about protecting; jīvitam = [my] life; vā = or; api = even; rākṣasa = O rākṣasa.
O rākṣasa, bind this senseless body or eat [it up]! I do not bother about protecting this body or even [my] life!
