नात्र प्रस्यन्दन्ति कामेषु निष्क्रम्याभिरताः सदा ।
एवम् अध्याशयो तृप्तो बोधिसत्वे प्रशंस्यते ति ॥ २२ ॥

nātra prasyandanti kāmeṣu niṣkramyābhiratāḥ sadā |
evam adhyāśayo tṛpto bodhisatve praśaṃsyate ti || 22 ||

They always find their joy in renouncing the world, and do not dissolutely indulge in pleasures of sense. Thus is the disposition of the Bodhisattva always extolled as contented”. (22)
