तृष्णानिरोधो ऽथ सदा अनिश्रिता निरोधसत्यं तृतियं इदं मे ।
अनन्यथा येन च मुच्यते नरो मार्गं हि भावित्व विमुक्त भोति ॥ १०२ ॥

tṛṣṇānirodho 'tha sadā aniśritā nirodhasatyaṃ tṛtiyaṃ idaṃ me |
ananyathā yena ca mucyate naro mārgaṃ hi bhāvitva vimukta bhoti || 102 ||

Always try, unattached, to suppress desire. This is my third truth, that of suppression. It is an infallible means of deliverance; for by practising this method one shall become emancipated.
