English translation
“The ālambana (viṣaya) in śānta-rasa is the Lord with an eternal form of knowledge and bliss, most attractive to the ātmārāmas. He is the Paramātmā, the param brahman, free from all passions, tolerant, pure, sense-controlled, eternally fixed in spiritual form, who rewards even the enemies He kills, and who is greater than the whole universe.”
