About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Vairagya Shatakam, by Bhartrhari. Translated by Swami Madhavananda. Read by Uday Sagar. Vairagya Shatakam is one of the best books that gives the true picture of Renunciation. The book talks on how a common man gets lured by the endless desires which when satisfied fetches him nothing but the desires again. It concludes saying how these unsatiable desires mislead the man from knowing his real nature-omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience! (Summary by Uday Sagar)
