परिग्रहत्यागः ( Abandoning of Possession )
* Central Idea * This ASTAKA at once declares that possession of things is bad under all circusmtances. It comes in the way of developing the spiritual power to the maximum. But the definition of possession is also to be borne in mind. The author unequivocally says that it is the just ( Herf Mūrcchā) for the things and not the things themselves, which is responsible for the monk being branded as finit ( parigraḥī).
