Vairagya Panchakam (five verses on dispassion) · Vedanta Desika (Venkatanatha) · 13th-14th century CE
Swami Vedanta Desika lived in Kanchipuram in great simplicity, sustaining himself by unchavritti — gathering fallen grain. When a king, impressed by his fame, sent an emissary to summon him to court with the promise of riches, Desika composed and sent back these five verses instead. In them he refuses to flatter or beg petty rulers, holds up the Lord's enriching of poor Sudama, and proclaims that his sole, unfailing wealth is Lord Varadaraja of Hastigiri — the Lord who lifted Govardhana. The hymn became a classic statement of Sri Vaishnava vairagya and self-respect.
✦ শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে
The same Lord praised here as the devotee's only wealth is remembered for transforming the fortunes of the destitute Sudama (Kuchela): when the boyhood friend came to Dvaraka with nothing but a handful of beaten rice, Krishna received him with love and silently bestowed upon him boundless riches — a sign, says Desika, that one who clings to the Lord alone never truly wants for anything.

অর্থ:We do not count blessed the composing of flattery to petty kings — kings swollen with the irresistible fire of pride at ruling a mere hundredth part of a corner of the earth. We resolve to serve only the Lord, that compassionate one who long ago granted the status of the lord of wealth (Kubera) to the poor sage Kuchela (Sudama), who could offer Him but a fistful of beaten rice.
শিলং কিমনলং ভবেদনলমৌদরং বাধিতুং পযঃ প্রসৃতিপূরকং কিমু ন ধারকং সারসম্ । অযত্নমলমল্পকং পথি পটচ্চরং কচ্চরং ভজন্তি বিবুধা মুধা হ্যহহ কুক্ষিতঃ কুক্ষিতঃ ॥ ২ ॥
śilaṃ kimanalaṃ bhavedanalamaudaraṃ bādhituṃ payaḥ prasṛtipūrakaṃ kimu na dhārakaṃ sārasam | ayatnamalamalpakaṃ pathi paṭaccaraṃ kaccaraṃ bhajanti vibudhā mudhā hyahaha kukṣitaḥ kukṣitaḥ || 2 ||
অর্থ:Would gleaning fallen grain not be enough to quell the fire of the belly? Is the water of the lotus-ponds not enough to sustain one's thirst? Are not soiled rags, picked up effortlessly along the road, enough to cover the body? Alas, alas — the learned serve (kings) in vain, only for the belly, for the belly!
জ্বলতু জলধিক্রোডক্রীডত্কৃপীডভবপ্রভা- প্রতিভটপটুজ্বালামালাকুলো জঠরানলঃ । তৃণমপি বযং সাযং সম্ফুল্লমল্লিমতল্লিকা- পরিমলমুচা বাচা যাচামহে ন মহীশ্বরান্ ॥ ৩ ॥

অর্থ:Let the fire of the stomach blaze like the submarine fire that plays in the ocean's depths, with its fierce, rising garland of flames! Even so, with speech fragrant as fully-blossomed jasmine, we will not beg the lords of the earth even for a blade of grass.
দুরীশ্বরদ্বারবহির্বিতর্দিকা- দুরাসিকাযৈ রচিতোঽযমঞ্জলিঃ । যদঞ্চনাভং নিরপাযমস্তি মে ধনঞ্জযস্যন্দনভূষণং ধনম্ ॥ ৪ ॥
durīśvaradvārabahirvitardikā- durāsikāyai racito'yamañjaliḥ | yadañcanābhaṃ nirapāyamasti me dhanañjayasyandanabhūṣaṇaṃ dhanam || 4 ||
অর্থ:This is my folded-hand farewell to the misery of sitting upon the platform outside the gate of some wretched king — for I possess an unfailing wealth, dark as collyrium: the Lord who was the very ornament of Arjuna's chariot.
শরীরপতনাবধি প্রভুনিষেবণাপাদনা- দবিন্ধনধনঞ্জযপ্রশমদং ধনং দন্দশূকম্ । ধনঞ্জযবিবর্ধনং ধনমুদূঢগোবর্ধনং সুসাধনমবাধনং সুমনসাং সমারাধনম্ ॥ ৫ ॥
śarīrapatanāvadhi prabhuniṣevaṇāpādanā- dabindhanadhanañjayapraśamadaṃ dhanaṃ dandaśūkam | dhanañjayavivardhanaṃ dhanamudūḍhagovardhanaṃ susādhanamabādhanaṃ sumanasāṃ samārādhanam || 5 ||
অর্থ:That wealth which, by yielding the service of the Lord until the fall of this body, quells the fire of poverty without need of any fuel; that wealth which is a serpent (venomous) to poverty yet ever-increasing in true riches; that wealth who lifted Mount Govardhana — the excellent, unobstructed means, the perfect object of worship for all noble souls — that alone is my wealth.
