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.

Wherever a desire occurs, see samsara in it. Establishing yourself in firm dispassion, be free of passion and happy.

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