Translation

ସନ୍ନ୍ୟାସୀ ଏକ ଥାଉରେ ଆସକ୍ତ ହେବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହେଁ, ଏକମାତ୍ର ଗ୍ରାମରେ ଜୀବନକୁ ସୀମିତ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହେଁ, ଏବଂ ସଦା ଏକେ ନଦୀତଟରେ ଶୟନ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହେଁ। ସମସ୍ତ ଆସକ୍ତିରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ, ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ନିର୍ମୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ସେ ସ୍ୱଚ୍ଛନ୍ଦ—ଅନାସକ୍ତ ଓ ଆତ୍ମସଂଯମୀ—ଭାବେ ବିଚରଣ କରୁ।

श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच

Characters & Entities

• Śrī Maheśvara (Mahādeva/Śiva)
• saṃnyāsī (renunciant)

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

A true saṃnyāsī should avoid forming new attachments through fixed residence—whether to one place, one village, or even a habitual resting spot—and should live in freedom from clinging, moving about without possessiveness.

What is happening in the narrative?

Śrī Maheśvara is giving prescriptive guidance on the conduct (ācāra) of a renunciant, emphasizing non-attachment expressed through non-settled wandering and the avoidance of habitual dependence on a single locality.
