Sanskrit Text

वैराग्यबुद्धिः सततं तापदोषव्यपेक्षकः आत्मबन्धविनिर्मोक्षं करोत्यचिरादिव

English Translation

He who abstains from all deeds, who is free from desire or cupidity, who considers the universe as un-enduring or as like an Ashvatha tree, ever gifted with birth, death, and ! decrepitude, whose understanding is fixed on renunciation, and whose eyes are always directed towards his own faults, soon succeeds in freeing himself from the fetters that bind him.
