Verse 208

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ २०८ ॥

In plain words

Let one who is thoroughly detached from all pleasures here and hereafter take up renunciation. Without true dispassion, the mere act of renouncing is as fruitless as a faulty sacrifice.

Close to the Sanskrit

One should renounce being thoroughly detached from happiness here and in the hereafter in terms of purpose; renunciation of one not detached is fruitless, like a sacrifice with an ineligible [offering].
