I renounced a home, the king of attachment and hatred,
renounced food and wealth, the kings of craving,
and renounced relatives, the kings of grasping and fixation.
Now I aimlessly roam the land.
I don't want a companion in the secular life.
When wherever you stay is understood as a holy place,
do what you want with all these homes!
When contentment dawns from within,
do what you want with all this food and wealth!
When the living beings of the six realms
are recognized as your parents,
do what you want with all these relatives!
