4.4.21
mā vaḥ padavyaḥ pitar asmad-āsthitā yā yajña-śālāsu na dhūma-vartmabhiḥ /
tad-anna-tṛptair asu-bhṛdbhir īḍitā avyakta-liṅgā avadhūta-sevitāḥ //
21. Further, the attainments (powers of *Aṇiman* etc.) possessed by us can never be yours; only those which belong to the sacri-
ficial halls form the lot of those that follow the path of smoke, and they are extolled by creatures gratified with the food (offered in sacrifices); while those that belong to us are due to the unmanifest (subtle) cause *i.e.* depend merely upon our wish, and they are resorted to (enjoyed) by the Avadhūtas (those that have realised Brahman).
