Vana Parva 209.40
Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Vana Parva Chapter 209 · Verse 40
Sanskrit Original
अतृप्यमाणो निर्वेदमापेदे ज्ञानचक्षुषा। प्रज्ञानक्षुर्नर इह दोषं नैवानुरुध्यते॥ विरज्यति यथाकामं न च धर्मं विमुञ्चति। सर्वत्यागे च यतते दृष्ट्वा लोकं क्षयात्मकम्॥ ततो मोक्षे प्रयतते नानुपायादुपायतः। एवं निर्वेदमादत्ते पापं कर्म जहाति च॥
Not satisfied with it, he with the light of spiritualism becomes indifferent to pain and pleasure; the worldly vices cannot influence him. Of his own free will, he becomes indifferent to all worldly pursuits, but he does not forsake virtue. Observing everything worldly as transcient, he tries to renounce everything and not calculating on mere chance, he devises means for the attainments of salvation. Thus does he renounce all worldly pursuits and shuns all sins.
