तन् मे संज्ञा न रमेति मौद्गल्यायन न मे रती ।
विपुला प्रतिमा चैव भाविता मतिया रतिः ॥ ५ ॥

tan me saṃjñā na rameti maudgalyāyana na me ratī |
vipulā pratimā caiva bhāvitā matiyā ratiḥ || 5 ||

So it is, Maudgalyayana, that the awareness of these things delights me not, and I have no joy therein. It is profound reflection exercised in my mind that gives me joy. (5)
