[vairagya-68]

भक्तिर्भवे मरणजन्मभयं हृदिस्थंस्नेहो न बन्धुषु न मन्मथजा विकाराः ।सम्सर्गदोषरहिता विजना वनान्तावैराग्यमस्ति किमितः परमर्थनीयम्‌ ॥६८॥

bhaktirbhave maraṇajanmabhayaṃ hṛdisthaṃsneho na bandhuṣu na manmathajā vikārāḥ |samsargadoṣarahitā vijanā vanāntāvairāgyamasti kimitaḥ paramarthanīyam‌ ||68||

Translation

If there is devotion to Shiva; the fear of birth and death in the heart; no attachments towards the relatives; no agitations due to passion; the uninhabited interiors of forests untainted by the contact of people; and dispassion, what else is to be desired for? ॥ 68 ॥
