यदा मनसि संपन्नं वैराग्यं सर्ववस्तुषु । तदा संन्यासमिच्छेच्च पतितः स्याद्विपर्यये
yadā manasi saṃpannaṃ vairāgyaṃ sarvavastuṣu | tadā saṃnyāsamicchecca patitaḥ syādviparyaye
మనస్సులో సమస్త విషయాల పట్ల నిజమైన వైరాగ్యం సంపూర్ణంగా కలిగినప్పుడు మాత్రమే సన్యాసాన్ని కోరుట యుక్తం; విరుద్ధంగా (వైరాగ్యం లేక) ఉంటే అతడు పతితుడగును.

FAQs
It states that genuine vairāgya—deep dispassion toward all worldly objects—must first be established in the mind; only then is the desire for saṃnyāsa appropriate.
It warns that pursuing renunciation without true inner detachment (the opposite case) leads to spiritual downfall (patita).
Outer religious status should follow inner transformation; adopting a renunciant life without the required mental maturity is portrayed as harmful and ethically improper.
