Translation

The food obtained through begging (as a recluse) does not humiliate. (People offer it with respect) It is a pleasure freed of all dependence. It removes fear from all sides. (no fear of getting stolen or destroyed) It removes all the vices like envy, arrogance, and pride. It destroys all the sufferings. It is easily available without effort from everywhere everyday. It is sacred; liked by the pious. It is the inexhaustible ‘feeding house of Shiva’ not blocked by any one. The excellent Yogis always extol it. ॥ 30 ॥
