ղ岵Գܲṛt (त्यागानुस्मृति) refers to the “recollection of abandonment� and represents one of the Anusmṛti (eight recollections), according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 36.—Accordingly, “to destroy, to reject all the afflicting emotions from the three fetters (ṃyᲹԲ) up to the ninety-eight latent tendencies (Գśⲹ) is called ‘abandonment� (ٲ岵). By recollecting the rejection of these things as one rejects venomous snakes (śīṣa) or like shackles, one acquires salvation (Dzṣe) and joy (峾ǻⲹ).

That which is not to be entangled in any dharma is the highest renunciation. That which is not entangled is without renunciation That which is without renunciation is without haughtiness.
