Educational Q&A
The verse teaches two foundational restraints of dharma: non-appropriation of others’ wealth (freedom from possessiveness) and strict avoidance of sexual misconduct, specifically refraining from relations with another’s spouse.
Śrīmaheśvara is describing the ethical qualities of exemplary persons, highlighting their inner discipline—detachment from others’ possessions and moral restraint in matters of sexuality.
