Purūravā’s Song of Renunciation and the Glory of Sādhu-saṅga
त्वङ्मांसरुधिरस्नायुमेदोमज्जास्थिसंहतौ । विण्मूत्रपूये रमतां कृमीणां कियदन्तरम् ॥ २१ ॥
tvaṅ-māṁsa-rudhira-snāyu- medo-majjāsthi-saṁhatau viṇ-mūtra-pūye ramatāṁ kṛmīṇāṁ kiyad antaram
Quelle différence y a-t-il entre de simples vers et ceux qui cherchent la jouissance dans ce corps fait de peau, chair, sang, nerfs, graisse, moelle et os, rempli d’excréments, d’urine et de pus ?
This verse critiques bodily identification by describing the body as a bundle of impure ingredients and asks what distinguishes a body-centered enjoyer from worms that relish filth—urging detachment and higher spiritual taste.
While instructing Uddhava in the Uddhava-gītā, Krishna emphasizes vairāgya (dispassion) so Uddhava can transcend material desire and fix his consciousness in devotion and the soul’s true identity.
Reduce obsessive body-centered living (vanity, indulgence, lust) by remembering the body’s temporary nature, cultivating purity and restraint, and redirecting pleasure-seeking into bhakti practices like chanting, hearing, and service.
