यदि वहसि दण्डं नग्नमुण्डं जटं वा
यदि वहसि गुहायां वृक्षमूले शिलायाम्।
यदि पठसिपुराणं वेदसिद्धान्ततत्त्वं
यदि हृदयमशुद्धं सर्वमेतन्न किञ्चित्॥
yadi vahasi daṇḍaṁ nagnamuṇḍaṁ jaṭaṁ vā
yadi vahasi guhāyāṁ vṛkṣamūle śilāyām|
yadi paṭhasipurāṇaṁ vedasiddhāntatattvaṁ
yadi hṛdayamaśuddhaṁ sarvametanna kiñcit||
Is it really of great importance or would it give some exalted spiritual status to you
If you merely carry the Danda or the insignia staff signifying that you are a renunciate or sannyaasin
If you wander all around wearing matted hair and exhibiting a naked body
If you shift your residence to a cave in the jungle, if you select the shadow of a tree as your permanent abode or if you occupy the top of a barren rock as your rendezvous
If you study Puranas, Vedas, Siddhantaas and try to expound their content to the wide audience,
And your mind and spirit are impure and are contaminated or even defiled by base propensities and unfair desires ?
