English Translation
ये च who, त्वाम् you, अनुजीवन्ति depend upon you for subsistence, तेषाम् their, अहम् I, न not, ते they, मम to me, न not, केवलार्थपराम् seeking your selfish interests alone, त्यक्तधर्माम् deserting righteousness, त्वाम् you, अहम् I, त्यजामि abandon.
English Commentary
Your dependents have nothing to do with me nor I with them. I denounce you since you are a selfseeker without any sense off righteousness.
