SB 9.4.27 By HH VRINDAVAN CHANDRA DAS GOSWAMI MAHARAJ

गृहेषु दारेषु सुतेषु बन्धुषु
द्विपोत्तमस्यन्दनवाजिवस्तुषु ।
अक्षय्यरत्नाभरणाम्बरादि
ष्वनन्तकोशेष्वकरोदसन्मतिम् ॥२७॥
gṛheṣu - in the homes;dāreṣu - in wives;suteṣu - in children;bandhuṣu - in friends and relatives;dvipa-uttama - in the best of powerful elephants;syandana - in nice chariots;vāji - in first-class horses;vastuṣu - in all such things;akṣayya - whose value never decreases;ratna - in jewels;ābharaṇa - in ornaments;ambara-ādiṣu - in such dresses and ornaments;ananta-kośeṣu - in an inexhaustible treasury;akarot - accepted;asat-matim - no attachment.
Maharaja Ambarisa gave up all attachment to household affairs, wives, children, friends and relatives, to the best of powerful elephants, to beautiful chariots, carts, horses and inexhaustible jewels, and to ornaments, garments and an inexhaustible treasury. He gave up attachment to all of them, regarding them as temporary and material.
Anasaktasya visayan yatharham upayunjatah. Material possessions can be accepted as far as they can be used in devotional service. Anukulyena krsnanusilanam. Anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam. In preaching, many things considered material are needed. A devotee should not have any attachment for such material involvements as house, wife, children, friends and cars. Maharaja Ambarisa, for example, had all such things, but he was not attached to them. This is the effect of bhakti-yoga. Bhaktih paresanubhavo viraktir anyatra ca (Bhag. 11.2.42). One who is advanced in devotional service has no attachment for material things for sense enjoyment, but for preaching, to spread the glories of the Lord, he accepts such things without attachment. Anasaktasya visayan yatharham upayunjatah. Everything can be used to the extent that it can be engaged in Krsna’s service.
