Adhyāya 13 Shloka 9

इन्द्रियार्थेषु वैराग्यमनहङ्कार एव च | जन्ममृत्युजराव्याधिदुःखदोषानुदर्शनम् || ९ ||

indriyārtheṣu vairāgyam anahaṅkāra eva ca | janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam || 9 ||

"Renunciation of the objects of sense gratification; absence of false ego; the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease;"

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Continuing the definition of knowledge, Krishna emphasizes detachment from sensory pleasures, giving up the false 'I', and maintaining a clear-eyed perception of the inescapable miseries of the material world: birth, death, old age, and disease.
