Parivrajaka comes from the Sanskrit parivraj, "to wander around".
Any wandering religious mendicant is referred to as a mendicant.
Wandering indefinitely is an ancient Indian spiritual
practice.
It demonstrates an intentional rejection of the
householder's fixed and stable reality, particularly in early cultures, and it
prohibits the wanderer from building any kind of attachments, even to
locations.
This exemplifies the dharma literature's fourth and final
stage of existence, the sanyasi, in which a person has relinquished all
attachments to ordinary life in order to seek spiritual accomplishment.
