FAQs
This verse presents nirmamatva as a defining mark of the parivrājaka: freedom from “mine-ness” that arises only after abandoning inner enemies like desire, anger, pride, delusion, and greed.
Parāśara frames renunciation primarily as inner purification—rejecting mental faults—so the renunciant’s life becomes steady, unattached, and fit for higher realization.
Though Vishnu is not named in the verse, the discipline described supports the Purana’s broader aim: removing egoic grasping so the self can turn toward the Supreme Lord as the ultimate reality and refuge.
