Living near inhabited place and practising rigid vows, and disregarding the fruits of Vedic acts, one should give up the life of house-holder, adopting that of Renunciation. Only they who are mean are actuated by the desire of fruit.
उपोष्य संशितो भूत्वा हित्वा वेदकृताः श्रुतीः। आचार इत्यनाचारः कृपणा: फलहेतवः॥
