एतयोर्यो भवेद्भावः शान्तयोर्मुनिनाथयोः ।
चित्तनिश्चयरूपात्मा मौनशब्देन स स्मृतः ॥ ६ ॥

etayoryo bhavedbhāvaḥ śāntayormunināthayoḥ |
cittaniścayarūpātmā maunaśabdena sa smṛtaḥ || 6 ||

The condition of these two orders of saintly and holy men, which is the fixedness of their minds and sedateness of their souls, is what passes under the title of taciturnity and saintliness.
