यः प्रहीणबन्धनो प्रहाणवां सर्वदुःखक्षयं जनेत्वा ।
नान्यान् सर्वत्र न रक्षति विरजो वीर्यवान् प्रवुच्चति तथत्वा ॥ १६ ॥

yaḥ prahīṇabandhano prahāṇavāṃ sarvaduḥkhakṣayaṃ janetvā |
nānyān sarvatra na rakṣati virajo vīryavān pravuccati tathatvā || 16 ||

He who has cast off his bonds, is full of striving; he who has realised the stopping of ill, who is rid of defilement and always protects others—he is truly called an energetic man. (16)
