Shanti Parva 329.15
Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 329 · Verse 15
Sanskrit Original
इन्द्रियैरिन्द्रियार्थान् यश्चरत्यात्मवशैरिह। असज्जमानः शान्तात्मा निर्विकारः समाहितः॥ आत्मभूतैरतद्भूतः सह चैव विनैव च। स विमुक्तः परं श्रेयो नचिरेणाधितिष्ठति॥
That person who, without being attached thereto, enjoys all objects of sense with the help of senses which are completely under his control, who is endued with a tranquil soul, who is never moved by joy or sorrow, who is engaged in Yoga-meditation, who lives with the gods presiding over his senses and dissociated also from them, and who, though gifted with a body, never considers himself as identifiable with it, becomes liberated and very soon acquires what is his highest good.
