Avadhuta Upanishad: Verse 3
यो विलङ्घ्याश्रमान्वर्णानात्मन्येव स्थितः सदा । अतिवर्णाश्रमी योगी अवधूतः स कथ्यते॥३॥
यः । विलङ्घ्य । आश्रमान् । वर्णान् । आत्मनि । एव । स्थितः । सदा । अति-वर्ण-आश्रमी । योगी । अवधूतः । सः । कथ्यते ॥३॥
yo vilaṅghyāśramān varṇān ātmany eva sthitaḥ sadā | ativarṇāśramī yogī avadhūtaḥ sa kathyate ||3||
Wer die Āśramas und die Varṇas überschritten hat und stets allein im Selbst gegründet bleibt — ein solcher Yogin, jenseits von Varṇa und Āśrama, wird Avadhūta genannt.
He who, having transcended the (four) āśramas and the (four) varṇas, remains always established in the Self alone—such a yogin, beyond varṇa and āśrama, is called an Avadhūta.
- विलङ्घ्याश्रमान्वर्णान् = विलङ्घ्य + आश्रमान् + वर्णान् (य + आ; न् + व)
- आत्मन्येव = आत्मनि + एव (इ + ए → ये)
