Commentary (टीका)
This verse depicts the lifestyle of enlightened beings who live beyond material constraints. The *vidāṁ* (wise ones) embrace a life free from concerns and pride, subsisting on whatever they obtain as alms without attachment, and drinking from natural sources. Their freedom (*svātantrya*) is depicted by their existence without fear, irrespective of place—whether a cremation ground or a forest. They relinquish societal norms such as clothes and comfortable beds, instead residing in open spaces and using the earth as their bed, showing complete detachment. Wandering in the *nigamānta-vīthiṣu* (paths of Vedanta), these realized beings find supreme joy or play in the ultimate reality, *pare brahmaṇi* (supreme Brahman), depicting a profound state of liberation and harmony with the cosmos.
