A repetition of the preceding rule with one important word: akṛtrima — “unfeigned, not manufactured”.
The word kṛtrima means “artificial, counterfeit, made on purpose”.
That is, the non-desiring must be real, not performed.
This distinguishes the wise man from the ascetic for show. The latter also takes no more than his due — but takes himself by the wrist. The former simply does not reach out.
Recall 2.42, where the first mark of the liberated is indifference to delights “without any cause”.
Note also the second half: āgatānāṃ sambhogaḥ — “the enjoying of those arrived”. Not “endurance”, but precisely enjoying.
A show of squeamishness toward what is given is as much a counterfeit as greed.
