The passage is obscure, and it must be said plainly: in this recension it cannot be restored with certainty. It seems the sense is this: for this mantra one must give everything — breath, honor, eye, ear; and it is not given to just anyone. Let us add what deserves saying about it in substance, for the thought here is not empty.
What is listed is not property, but the person himself: breath, honor, sight, hearing. That is, the payment named is not material, and this distinguishes such a requirement from the ordinary guru-dakṣiṇā. The Vaiṣṇava side holds a rule on this, cited reading the Śāṭyāyanīya (35): the teaching is paid for not with money, but with fulfillment.
Let us add the famous passage that belongs here: the Bhāgavatam (11.29.34) says that for a single word of instruction a person can repay nothing, were he lord of the whole earth; and hence he remains forever indebted. Let us add, too, the caveat that must be made against abuse. The demand “give everything,” in the mouth of a teacher demanding it for himself, is coercion, and in India it made itself felt no less often than anywhere else.
The Vaiṣṇava side's rule on this was cited reading the Śāṭyāyanīya (34): a pupil tests the teacher for a year before asking; and a demand made before the test is itself, by nature, a sign that the test is feared.
