== When should one adopt Sannyasashrama ? ==
वनी भूत्वा प्रव्रजेत् । यदि वेतरथा ब्रह्मचर्यादेव प्रव्रजेद्गृहाद्वा वनाद्वा । अथ पुनरव्रती वा व्रती वा स्नातको वाऽस्नातको वा उत्सन्नाग्निरनग्निको वा यदहरेव विरजेत्तदहरेव प्रव्रजेत् ॥ ५ ॥<ref>[https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B7%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D_(%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%9C%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%83) Jabalopanishad (Yajurveda)]</ref>
Janaka, the King of Videha, came upto Yajnavalkya and said, ... After he has been a forest hermit, he should renounce. Or, rather, he may renounce directly from Vedic studentship, or home, or from forest. Let him even renounce on the very day that he ecomes detached, regardless of whether he has taken the vow (vedic initiation) or not, whether he has graduated or not, and whether he has kindled the sacred fire or is without fire ie. whether he is married or not.
Bhagavata Purana (1.2.2) exemplifies the condition wherein the renouncer need not have undergone even Vedic initiation.<ref name=":62">Anant Balwant Marathe (2011), The Socio-Religious Implications of Vanaprastha and Samnyasa, Delhi: New Bharatiya Book Corporation.</ref>
स खल्वेवं यो विद्वान्सोपनयनादूर्ध्वमेतानि प्राग्वा त्यजेत् ।<ref>[https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%86%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A3%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B7%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D Aruneyopanishad]</ref>
Verily who grasps the meaning of the Veda may after his initiation by the preceptor or even before that, renounce all this - his father and his son, the sacrificial fire and the sacrificial thread, his work and his wife and everything in this world.
Motives for renunciation:
# As the last stage of life organized on the basis of the Ashrama theory in its finished form.
# Renouncing on the very day one becomes detached from the worldly affairs; no matter in what stage of life one is in.<ref name=":62" />
Types of Sannyasa (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad ?)
* Vidvat-Sannyasa
एतं वै तमात्मानं विदित्वा ब्राह्मणाः पुत्रैषणायाश्च वित्तैषणायाश्च लोकैषणायाश्च व्युत्थायाथ भिक्षाचर्यं चरन्ति ।<ref>Brhadaranyakopanishad ([https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A3%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%95_%E0%A4%89%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B7%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D_3p Adhyaya 3])</ref>
The brahmanas having known that Self, having overcome the desire for sons, the desire for wealth, the desire for worlds, live the life of mendicants. This renunciation after knowing the Self is termed as Vidvatsamnyasa.<ref name=":62" />
* Vividisha Samnyasa
एतमेव प्रव्राजिनो लोकमिच्छन्तः प्रव्रजन्ति ॥ बृह. ४,४.२२ ॥<ref>Brhadaranyakopanishad ([https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A3%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%95_%E0%A4%89%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B7%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D_4p Adhyaya 4])</ref>
It is when they desire him (this immense unborn self) as their world that wandering ascetics undertake the ascetic life of wandering. This is termed as Vividisha Samnyasa or renunciation undertaken in order to know the ultimate reality.<ref name=":62" />
