Discourse on Desire, Possessiveness, and Ritual Duty
बाहाद्रव्यविमुक्तस्य शारीरेषु च गृद्धयत: । यो धर्मो यत् सुखं चैव द्विषतामस्तु तत् तथा
bāhādravyavimuktasya śārīreṣu ca gṛddhyataḥ | yo dharmo yat sukhaṃ caiva dviṣatām astu tat tathā ||
ವಾಯು ಹೇಳಿದರು— ಬಾಹ್ಯ ದ್ರವ್ಯಗಳಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ದೇಹಸukhoಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಲೋಭಿಸುವವನು ಯಾವ ಧರ್ಮವನ್ನೂ ಯಾವ ಸುಖವನ್ನೂ ಪಡೆಯುವನೋ, ಅದೇ ಫಲವು ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ದ್ವೇಷವಿಟ್ಟವರಿಗೇ ದೊರಕಲಿ.

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.
