-Aila-gita: The Song of Pururava (11.26.7–24)
+Aila refers to the son of Ila also known as Pururavas. The Gita sung by Pururavas out of sheer disgust for his past disgraceful life when he got over the sorrow of his separation from Urvashi whom he passionately loved and after having developed dispassion and renunciation is known as Aila Gita.<ref>Swami Sivananda (2000), [https://www.dlshq.org/download2/lordkrishna.pdf Lord Krishna His Lilas and Teachings], Uttar Pradesh: The Divine Life Society.</ref>
-The ''Aila-gita'' also is part of the ''Uddhava-gita''.

+Pururavas laments over the power of delusion and states that a man who understands what's best for him should not get sensorily attached to women or to men attached to women. For, only the mind of someone not engaging his senses becomes fixed and pacified. And through the example of Pururavas, the need to abandon bad company and associate oneself with the righteous and the wise in order to cut off the deep attachment of one's mind is emphasized.<ref>Anand Aadhar (2022), Srimad Bhagavatam ([https://www.srimadbhagavatam.org/pdf/canto11-eng.pdf Canto 11])</ref><blockquote>ततो दुःसङ्गमुत्सृज्य सत्सु सज्जेत बुद्धिमान् । सन्त एवास्य छिन्दन्ति मनोव्यासङ्गमुक्तिभिः ॥ २६ ॥<ref name=":32">Bhagavata Purana, Skandha 11, [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D/%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%83_%E0%A5%A7%E0%A5%A7/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%83_%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%AC Adhyaya 26].</ref> tato duḥsaṅgamutsr̥jya satsu sajjeta buddhimān । santa evāsya chindanti manovyāsaṅgamuktibhiḥ ॥ 26 ॥</blockquote>3.

 Ajagara Gita is the collection of advice given by an ascetic, one who has renounced all worldly attachments and conections, to Raja Prahlada. It appears in the Shantiparva of the Mahabharata as part of the Bhishma-Yudhishthira Samvada. The Gita inspires one to maintain equanimity during abundance as well as inadequacy. Thus, it is useful not only to renunciates but also to old people who, after fulfilling their familial responsibilities, wish to lead a life of happiness and peace.<ref name=":2">[https://archive.org/details/GitaSangraha/mode/2up?view=theater Gita Sangraha], Gorakhpur: Gita Press.</ref>

		+
		+	The ''Aila-gita'' also is part of the ''Uddhava-gita''. To explain how unfavorable association is a threat to one's position in devotional service, Lord Krishna gave the example of the emperor Pururava (also called Aila). Aila was bewildered by the association of the heavenly beauty Urvashi, and later became renounced after being separated from her. Expressing his contempt for undue attachment to the opposite sex, he sang a song called the ''Aila-gita'':
		+
		+	"Persons who are attached to the body of a woman or a man – which is simply a mass of skin, meat, blood, bones, and so on – are not much different from worms. When one's mind is stolen away by the opposite sex, what is the worth of education, austerity, renunciation, Vedic knowledge, and so forth? Learned men should distrust their six mental enemies, headed by lust, and thus avoid degrading association."
		+
		+	Thus Pururava was freed from illusion and eventually attained peace by realizing the Lord.

		+
		+	In the Krtayuga there was a valiant king named Bhadrasva. His kingdom also came to be known by his name Bhadrasva. 7. Once sage Agastya came to him and said that he would stay with him for a week.
		+
		+	Hearing these words of the great Agastya, the king sought his advice, but the sage was leaving for the tlrtha Puskara. 43. Bhadrasva followed him to get his advice, and he was then told about this Dvadaslvrata by the sage.
		+
		+	After going to Puskaratlrtha, sage Agastya returned to the palace of Bhadrasva in the month of Karttika.
		+
		+	Earth said:
		+
		+	1. О great lord, be pleased to tell me how you are to be worshipped by men and women with devotion.
		+
		+	The hunter said:
		+
		+	43. The one boon that I wish to seek is to know how Visnu, about whom you said, could be attained by mortals.
		+
		+	The sage said:
		+
		+	44. The man who with intense devotion, performs vows in respect of lord Visnu, doubtless attains him.
		+
		+	When he was doing penance in this way, once sage Durvasas came there and was surprised to find the hunter not only alive (in spite of his fasting) but effulgent like the blazing fire because of the penance. (hunter-Satyatapas.)

		+
		+	13. О great sage, the form of what you said as the Supreme Soul, cannot be known by even great yogins. 14. It is beyond the scope of name and form, and, as such, how can it be known ? So kindly tell me the sign by which I may know it.
		+
		+	Durvasas said:
		+
		+	15. That which is spoken of as the Supreme Brahman in Vedas and Sastras is the (essence of) Veda itself, the lotus-eyed Narayana-Hari. 16. This Supreme god, Narayana, is attained through the different sacrifices and gifts.
		+
		+	Satyatapas said:
		+
		+	17. О sage, lord Narayana is attained by spending a lot of money and by the meritorious persons who have mastered the Vedas. Please tell me how he can be attained by those who have no money (for sacrifices.)
		+
		+	19. To such people, it appears to me, Narayana will always be far away. 20. Tell me in particular as to by what efforts he can be reached by people of all castes.

		+	21. I shall tell you the great secret, what was done by Mother Earth when she was merging into water and moving down tc the nether world. 22. The solid part of Earth was engulfed by water, and as ,. result, she was sinking into the lower world, Rasatala. 23. This mother of ali beings, when she reached Rasatala, worshipped the great god Xarayana. 24. By the fastings and vows and other observances of Earth.
