Avadhuta Gita by Dattatreya is an advanced, enlightened exposition of selfless recluse, an Avadhuta - who has attained mukti, over the associations of the world; and who wanders about the earthly spheres imparting jnana to seekers.<blockquote>बालस्य वा विषयभोगरतस्य वापि मूर्खस्य सेवकजनस्य गृहस्थितस्य ।</blockquote><blockquote>एतद्गुरोः किमपि नैव न चिन्तनीयं रत्नुं कथं त्यजति कोऽप्यशुचौ प्रविष्टम् ॥ १॥ (Avad.
