Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 7, Ch. 13]
eka eva cared bhikṣur ātmārāmo 'napāśrayaḥ sarva-bhūta-suhṛc-chānto nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥ
ekaḥ—alone; eva—only; caret—can move; bhikṣuḥ—a sannyāsī taking alms; ātma-ārāmaḥ—fully satisfied in the self; anapāśrayaḥ—without depending on anything; sarva-bhūta-suhṛt—becoming a well-wisher of all living entities; śāntaḥ—completely peaceful; nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥ—becoming absolutely dependent on Nārāyaṇa and becoming His devotee.
TRANSLATION
The sannyāsī, completely satisfied in the self, should live on alms begged from door to door. Not being dependent on any person or any place, he should always be a friendly well-wisher to all living beings and be a peaceful, unalloyed devotee of Nārāyaṇa. In this way he should move from one place to another.
