Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 15
Adhyāya 142: Cyavana, the Devas’ Arrogance, and Vāyu’s Counsel on Protecting Brāhmaṇas
कक्षसेनश्न् राजर्षिवेसिष्ठाय महात्मने । न्यासं यथावत् संन््यस्थ जगाम सुमहायशा:,महायशस्वी राजर्षि कक्षसेन महात्मा वसिष्ठको अपना सर्वस्व समर्पण करके स्वर्गलोकमें गये हैं
Kakṣasenāś ca rājarṣir Vasiṣṭhāya mahātmane | nyāsaṃ yathāvat saṃnyasya jagāma sumahāyaśāḥ ||
Bhīṣma nói: Vị vương hiền Kakṣasena lẫy lừng, sau khi trao gửi đúng nghi thức (mọi tài sản mình có) cho bậc đại hồn Vasiṣṭha, đã từ bỏ sở hữu và lên cõi trời, danh tiếng rạng rỡ vô cùng.

Educational Q&A
Renunciation should be done responsibly and in accordance with dharma: one should duly transfer wealth and obligations (nyāsa) to a worthy custodian (here, Vasiṣṭha) rather than abandoning them improperly. Such orderly, ethical relinquishment supports spiritual merit and a noble end.
Bhīṣma cites the example of the rājarṣi Kakṣasena: he formally entrusted his possessions/charge to the sage Vasiṣṭha, renounced his worldly ties, and then departed for Svarga, celebrated for his great fame.
