Adhyaya 33: Pashupata Conduct, Bhasma-Vrata, and Shiva’s Boon to the Sages

न निन्देद्यतिनं तस्माद् दिग्वाससमनुत्तमम् बालोन्मत्तविचेष्टं तु मत्परं ब्रह्मवादिनम्

na nindedyatinaṃ tasmād digvāsasamanuttamam bālonmattaviceṣṭaṃ tu matparaṃ brahmavādinam

Por ello, nadie debe menospreciar a un renunciante (yati), el supremo entre los que visten las direcciones (digvāsa). Aunque actúe como un niño o como un demente, está enteramente entregado a Mí y proclama el Brahman. Tal es el sabio orientado al Pati, que ha trascendido el pāśa que ata al paśu (el alma individual).
