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>

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>
