अष्टावक्र उवाच। विहाय वैरिणं काममर्थं चानर्थसङ्कुलम्। धर्ममप्येतयोर्हेतुं सर्वत्रानादरं कुरु॥१०- १॥

Sri Ashtavakra says - Give up the enemies, desires and money, the primary cause of many misfortunes. Rejecting these two will lead to righteousness and thus be indifferent to everything.

तृष्णामात्रात्मको बन्धस्- तन्नाशो मोक्ष उच्यते। भवासंसक्तिमात्रेण प्राप्तितुष्टिर्मुहुर्मुहुः॥१०- ४॥

त्वमेकश्चेतनः शुद्धो जडं विश्वमसत्तथा। अविद्यापि न किंचित्सा का बुभुत्सा तथापि ते॥१०- ५॥
