Prakarana (independent didactic hymn) ascribed to Adi Shankaracharya · Adi Shankaracharya · Classical (traditionally 8th century CE)
The Kaupina Panchakam, also known as Yati Panchakam, is one of Adi Shankaracharya's short devotional-philosophical hymns extolling the path of renunciation (sannyasa). In just five verses it paints the portrait of the ideal monk who possesses nothing but a kaupina (loincloth), yet is the most fortunate of all beings because he ever abides in the bliss of Brahman. The hymn became a beloved expression of the Advaitic ideal of vairagya (dispassion) and inner fulfillment, recited especially within the Dashanami monastic order founded by Shankara.

It is traditionally held that one who contemplates these verses with sincerity loses the fever of craving for wealth and possessions, discovering instead an unshakable contentment; the 'poverty' of the kaupina-clad sage is celebrated as the greatest fortune, for he has gained the imperishable wealth of the Self that no king can claim.
