चिन्ताशून्यमदैन्यभैक्षमशनं पानं सरिद्वारिषु
स्वातन्त्र्येण निरङ्कुशा स्थितिरभीर्निद्रा श्मशाने वने ।

सञ्चारो निगमान्तवीथिषु विदां क्रीडा परे ब्रह्मणि ॥ ५३९ ॥

Translation

Their food is by worry–less, dignified mendicancy. Water is from the brooks. They stay in full freedom and fearlessness without any restraint. They may sleep in the grave yard or in the forest. Clothes are devoid of washing and drying, or they are merely the directions (such as East, West etc.,). Their bed is the naked earth. Their minds stroll in the sublime paths of the Vedanta, sporting in the Supreme Brahman.

Annotation

Nigama is Veda. Nigamānta is Vedanta. A realised person abiding in the above state is an avadhūta, a person who has shaken off all bondages.
