Cf. श्मशानवैराग्यन्याय
 

 
This maxim is concerned with a man of temporary

detachment. So long as a person hears the stories or

discourses on Purāṇas, he feels detachment towards

the worldly happiness and temporary existence in the

world. He becomes a totally detached person as long

as he hears the discourses. But that feeling of detachment

disappears and he plunges in the worldly affairs

afterwards. A person's feeling of detachment is too

weak to last for a long time.

A man has hair on his body and they develop and

grow on ( his) body. This maxim says that as the body

hair grows in a person's body, this empirical world

also arises from the Supreme Reality.
