ततोऽहमपि शून्येऽस्मिन्नष्टचन्द्रार्कतारके ।
वपुःप्रशान्तिमाधाय स्थितिमेष्यामि तत्पदे ॥ १४ ॥

tato'hamapi śūnye'sminnaṣṭacandrārkatārake |
vapuḥpraśāntimādhāya sthitimeṣyāmi tatpade || 14 ||

What can I have to do in this empty void of the world, after the extinction of these created beings into nothing, than to charge my active nature to a state of cold inactivity, and lose myself into the anaesthesia of final liberation or insensibility.
