who possesses nothing, who is indifferent -
who eats moderately -is quiet and steady
and has taken refuge in me.

3. The sage is vigilant and resolute -
   has a profound mind and has conquered the six bondages;
   he is not proud, but gives honour to others;
   he is strong, friendly to all
   compassionate and wise.

4. The sage is merciful, non-violent and enduring of all.
   He is pure hearted and is the essence of truth;
   he is the same to all and beneficent to all.

5. The sign of an Avudhuta should be known by the blessed ones,
   by those who know the truth of the significance
   of the letters of the Vedas and who teach Veda and Vedanta.

6. The significance of the letter "A"
   is that the Avudhuta is free from the bondage of hopes
   is pure in the beginning, middle and end
   and dwells ever in joy.

7. The syllable "VA" is indicative of him
   by whom all desires have been renounced
   whose speech is wholesome
   and who dwells in the present.

8. The syllable "DHU" is a sign of him
   whose limbs are grey with dust -
   whose mind is purified-
   who is free from all diseases -
   and who is released from the practice
   of concentration and meditation.

9. The syllable "TA" is significant of him
   by whom the thought of Truth has been made steady
   who is devoid of all thoughts and efforts
   and who is free from ignorance and egoism.

10. This Gita or song is composed by
    Dattatreya Avadhuta who is the embodiment of bliss.
    Whoever reads or hears it has never any rebirth.
    One who has realized the Self is never reborn.
