शरद्वर्णनं, योगोपमा, तथा गोवर्धन-यज्ञप्रवर्तनम्
शनकैः शनकैस् तीरं तत्यजुश् च जलाशयाः ममत्वं क्षेत्रपुत्रादिरूढम् उच्चैर् यथा बुधाः
śanakaiḥ śanakais tīraṃ tatyajuś ca jalāśayāḥ mamatvaṃ kṣetraputrādirūḍham uccair yathā budhāḥ
Seperti tasik dan takungan air perlahan-lahan meninggalkan tebingnya, demikian juga orang bijaksana beransur melepaskan rasa “milikku” yang berakar kuat—melekat pada tanah, anak, dan lainnya.
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
Concept: Wise persons relinquish the entrenched sense of ‘mine’ progressively, as water slowly withdraws from a shoreline.
Vedantic Theme: Dharma
Application: Practice staged renunciation: simplify possessions, loosen identity around family/property, and redirect attachment toward God-centered duty.
Vishishtadvaita: Detachment is not nihilistic; it reorders attachment from finite ‘mine’ to the Supreme as the true owner and inner ruler.
Vishnu Form: Para-Brahman
Bhakti Type: Shanta
This verse treats mamatva as a deeply rooted bondage—especially toward property and family—that must be steadily relinquished for spiritual clarity and liberation.
He frames it as gradual: like water slowly leaving a shoreline, the wise loosen attachment step by step rather than through abrupt, unstable rejection.
Detachment is presented as a prerequisite for turning from transient ‘mine-ness’ toward the enduring Supreme Reality—Vishnu—who alone is ultimate refuge beyond worldly ownership.
