Discourse on Desire, Possessiveness, and Ritual Duty
बाहाद्रव्यविमुक्तस्य शारीरेषु च गृद्धयत: । यो धर्मो यत् सुखं चैव द्विषतामस्तु तत् तथा,बाह्य पदार्थोसे अलग होकर भी जो शारीरिक सुख-विलासमें आसक्त है, उसे जिस धर्म और सुखकी प्राप्ति होती है, वह तुम्हारे साथ द्वेष करनेवालोंको ही प्राप्त हो
bāhādravyavimuktasya śārīreṣu ca gṛddhyataḥ | yo dharmo yat sukhaṃ caiva dviṣatām astu tat tathā ||
Vāyu sprach: „Selbst wenn einer äußerlich von äußeren Besitztümern frei ist, doch weiterhin gierig nach leiblichen Genüssen bleibt—welches ‘Dharma’ und welches Glück er auch erlange, derselbe Ertrag falle denen zu, die dir Hass entgegenbringen.“

Educational Q&A
Outer renunciation is incomplete without inner restraint: freedom from possessions does not equal freedom from desire. If one still craves bodily enjoyment, the ‘merit’ and happiness gained are of a lower, compromised kind—fit to be wished upon adversaries rather than sought by the wise.
Vāyudeva speaks a pointed benediction/ironic wish: he contrasts external detachment with continued sensual craving and declares that whatever dharma and happiness such a person obtains should accrue to those who hate the addressed party—underscoring disapproval of hypocritical or partial renunciation.
