            RENUNCIATION
            
            What does renunciation mean?
            
            It means a lonely woodland scene
            
            Remote from men and human sin,
            
            From woes of love, from love of kin,
            
            Free from the world, a life apart
            
            That slays the tortures of the heart
            
            As fear of death and fear of birth:
            
            It means the best of heaven and earth.

Tawney

            
            My faith in Siva wavereth not, I shrink from future birth,
            
            I care not for my friends or kin, I scorn the joys of earth,
            
            I love the lonely forest-glades, from worldly turmoil free,
            
            No greater bliss can fall to man than falleth unto me.

Mādhavānanda

            
              भक्तिर्भवे मरणजन्मभयं हृदिस्थं
            
                स्नेहो न बन्धुषु न मन्मथजा विकारा: ।
            
              संसर्गदोषरहिता विजना वनान्ता
            
                वैराग्यमस्ति किमित: परमर्थनीयम् ।।६८।।
            
            68. When there is devotion for Śiva, as also fear of birth and death in the heart, no attachment for family, no excitement of sexual passions—when there is the solitude of forest depths unsullied by the company (of worldly men), and there is renunciation—what better, then, is to be wished for?
