यथा ग्रामान्तरं गच्छन् नरः कश्चिद् बहिर्वसेत्। उत्सृज्य च तमावासं प्रतिष्ठेतापरेऽहनि॥ एवमेव मनुष्याणां पिता माता गृहं वसु। आवासमात्रं काकुत्स्थ सज्जन्ते नात्र सज्जनाः॥
yathā grāmāntaraṃ gacchan naraḥ kaścid bahirvaset| utsṛjya ca tamāvāsaṃ pratiṣṭhetāpare'hani|| evameva manuṣyāṇāṃ pitā mātā gṛhaṃ vasu| āvāsamātraṃ kākutstha sajjante nātra sajjanāḥ||
English Meaning
No individual has any one (in the world). As on the eve of setting out for another country, a person stays somewhere (outside the village he lives in), and the next day goes away, renouncing that abode, even such are a man's father and mother, house and wealth. O Kākutstha, worthy people never bear affection towards a mere abode.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
