Chae avgunr ganru ji uhtyi, chae nrimal kiti pavhayi Chae veyrith panrmeyi paye, chae bhog bhomi suh jae
Chae vihijeyi nrich ji binrye, suh veynryi bhasaipinru panrai Abhaydanru dijeyi pehilaru, jimi nrasyi parbhav dudhyaru
Sathdan ru bijyu punr kijyi, nrimal nranru jainr pavijyi Osahu dijyi roe vinrasanru, keh vinr paichyi bahi pyasanru
Aharay dhanrridhi paythyi, chaubihu chau ji aihu pavthau Ahva duth viapaham chae, chau ji aihu munrhu samvaen
Duhiyeh dijyi danru kijayi manru ji gunriynraham Deh bhaviyi abhang dansanru chintijyi manrham
1. Renunciation is a part and parcel of religion. As a rule the two are inseparable. A perfectly purified soul dedicated to the virtue of penance should practice with full devotion the supreme virtue of renunciation within his capacity. That paves the way to the attainment of a superior state of existence in the next birth.
2. A horde of vices is driven away by renunciation; it spreads the shining glory and fame of a person; consequently an enemy surrenders and falls down at his feet. One gets the bliss of happy land of Eldorado through renunciation.
3. A man devoted to renunciation should regularly give charity humbly and affectionately using auspicious words. First of all he should give 'abhay daan'i.e., save the lives of all living beings in danger; doing so vanquishes the miseries related to the other world.
4. Besides, one should give 'Shastra Dana' as well i.e., he should distribute among the people sacred books and scriptures, which impart and spread religious knowledge. He should make free distribution of medicines also which cure living beings of all bodily diseases, and destroy all physical ailments root and branch.
5. Giving food to the Hungary and the poor i.e., 'ahar daan' brings peace and prosperity in its return. As a rule these are four types of charities (four-fold renunciation) practiced from times immemorial. In other words putting an end to vicious thoughts practices renunciation. In short, the virtue of renunciation consists in doing all this.
6. We should give alms to the miserable and show reverence to the talented and virtuous persons. We should cherish the sole feeling of mercy and meditate in our mind for the attainment of Perfect Faith.
