In plain words
Giving children and wealth to a qualified and deserving petitioner is the first kind of renunciation among the six. The second is the performance of Vedic sacrifices and public welfare works—sacrifices being offerings to the gods, and welfare works being provisions for ancestors, as some explain. The third is the abandonment of wealth and personal desires, born of constant detachment in one whose mind is purified and who clearly sees the transience of the world, O king. When asked what is accomplished by these, he answers: 'The vigilant.' For the watchful, desire is destroyed. As the royal codes state: 'Evil meditation is a stain upon righteousness, hoarding is a stain upon wealth, heedlessness is a stain upon desire; yet when mastered, desire enhances virtue.' Whoever is endowed with these six types of renunciation becomes truly vigilant, and that vigilance bears eight noble qualities.
Close to the Sanskrit
Giving children and wealth to a deserving, suitable petitioner—that giving is the first among the six. The second would be iṣṭāpūrta; iṣṭa is giving in Vedic ritual, pūrta is in Smṛti ritual; iṣṭa is given to gods, pūrta to ancestors, as some say. The third is known as the relinquishment of wealth and the abandonment of desire, arising constantly from detachment for one whose mind is purified and who sees the defects of impermanence, O noble king. Raising the question of what is achieved by these, he says: 'the vigilant.' For the vigilant, desire perishes. It has been said in the codes of royal duty: 'Evil thought is a stain on righteousness, concealment is a stain on wealth, heedlessness is a stain on desire; moreover, that same desire properly managed enhances virtue.' Whosoever is equipped with these six forms of renunciation, he becomes vigilant. That vigilance becomes eightfold, endowed with eight qualities.
