ब्राह्मण उवाच परिग्रहो हि दुःखाय यद्यत्प्रियतमं नृणाम् । अनन्तं सुखमाप्नोति तद्विद्वान्यस्त्वकिञ्चनः ।। ११-९-१ ।।

One who understands this gives up material possessiveness and attachment and thus achieves unlimited happiness. ।। 11-9-1 ।।

In family life, the parents are always in anxiety about their home, children and reputation. But I have nothing to do with these things.

Thus I wander the earth like a child. ।। 11-9-3 ।।
