Verse 16

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १६ ॥

In plain words

Saṃnyāsa is not something the body does, and no ochre robe confers it. The settled certainty — "I am not the body; I am the Ātman" — that is the mark of renunciation.

Close to the Sanskrit

Renunciation is surely not bodily practice, nor at all by means of the ochre garment. The certainty 'I am not the body, I am the Ātman' — that is the mark of renunciation.
