Shanti Parva 270.32
Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 270 · Verse 32
Sanskrit Original
समाप्तं त्याग इत्येव सर्ववेदेषु निष्ठितम्। संतोष इत्यनुगतमपवर्गे प्रतिष्ठितम्॥ ऋतं सत्यं विदितं वेदितव्यं सर्वस्यामा स्थावरं जङ्गमं च। सर्वं सुखं यच्छिवमुत्तरं च ब्रह्माव्यक्तं प्रभवश्चाव्ययं च॥
This truth depends upon all the Vedas, viz., that when complete Renunciation takes place one acquires what is sufficient. Then, again, the highest contentment follows and depends upon Liberation, which is absolute, which exists as the soul of all moral and immortal things, which is well-known as such universal soul, which is the highest object of knowledge as being at one with all mobile and immobile objects, which is full, which is perfect happiness, which is without duality, which is the foremost of all things, which is Brahma, which is Unmanifest and the cause also of the Unmanifest, and which is without any sort of decay.
