他周游大地时，行持清净，喜居离群；常在圣地沐浴而自净，席地而眠，如离尘的阿瓦度塔般无所系缚。身着游行乞士之装，不为亲族所识，他只修行令哈利（至上主）欢喜的誓行。
The first and foremost duty of a pilgrim is to satisfy the Supreme Lord Hari. While traveling as a pilgrim, one should not be worried about pleasing society. There is no need to depend on social formalities or occupation or dress. One should remain always absorbed in the function of pleasing the Lord. Thus sanctified by thought and action, one is able to realize the Supreme Lord by the process of a pilgrim’s journey.
