आशापाशविनिर्मुक्त आदिमध्यान्तनिर्मलः । आनन्दे वर्तते नित्यमकारं तस्य लक्षणम् ॥६॥

The syllable A of Avadhuta indicates that he is free from the snare of hopes and expectations. His life is pure from its beginning, through its middle, to its end; and he always dwells in bliss.

वासना वजिता येन वक्तव्यं च निरामयम्। वर्तमानेषु वर्तेत वकारं तस्य लक्षणम् ॥७॥

The syllable VA of Avadhuta indicates that he has uprooted all desires. His speech is purifying, and he always lives in the ever-present Brahman.

The syllable DHU of Avadhuta indicates that, though his body is besmeared with grey dust from lack of body-consciousness, his mind is pure and healthy. He no longer needs to practise concentration and meditation.
