अविलमनाः स्वस्थो मुक्त एव महाशयः ॥ १४॥
सानुरागां Loving स्त्रियं woman मृत्युं death समुपस्थितं near
at hand or seeing the great-souled
one अविह्वलमना: unperturbed in mind स्वस्थ : self-poised
( च and तिष्ठति remains स: he) मुक्त: emancipated एव
indeed.

The great-souled one is not per-
turbed and remains self-poised both at the

[Both etc. Two opposite cases are cited,―most
pleasant and most terrible. The liberated one remains
the same under both these conditions.
2 Indeed etc. Such equanimity is a true sign of
liberation.]
सुखे दुःखे नरे नार्या सम्पत्सु च विपत्सु च ।
विशेषो नैव धीरस्य सर्वत्रसमदर्शिनः ॥ १५ ॥
