सूक्ष्मभूत-भूतात्मविज्ञानम्
Knowing the subtle principle and the bhūtātman through yoga
अरोषमोह: समलोष्टकाञउचन: प्रहीणकोशो गतसंधिविग्रह: । अपेतनिन्न्दास्तुतिरप्रियाप्रिय- श्वरन्नुदासीनवदेष भिक्षुक:
aroṣamohaḥ samaloṣṭakāñcanaḥ prahīṇakośo gatasandhivigrahaḥ | apetanindāstutir apriyapriyaś carann udāsīnavad eṣa bhikṣukaḥ ||
毗耶娑说：如是行乞者，不为忿怒与迷妄所触。视土块与黄金等同。既弃占有之想与对自身诸“藏”（kośa）的我慢，便超越结盟与敌对之冲动，离于毁誉。于彼而言，无人特为可亲，亦无人可憎；如同无所偏倚者穿行世间，仍复游行——安住于出离与平等心。

The verse defines the ideal renunciant: one who is free from anger and delusion, equal-minded toward wealth and poverty, untouched by praise and blame, and beyond the social-political reflexes of alliance and enmity. Ethical maturity is shown as inner steadiness—no compulsive liking or disliking—expressed as detached wandering and harmlessness.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Vyāsa describes the marks of a true bhikṣuka (mendicant). Rather than a plot event, this is a didactic characterization meant to guide conduct: how a renouncer should relate to possessions, reputation, and interpersonal conflict.
