223,437 words | ISBN-10: 8171101519

The Sanskrit edition of the Yoga-vasistha including English translation and grammatical analysis. The Yogavasistha is a Hindu spiritual text written by Valmiki (who also authored the Ramayana) dealing with the philosophical topics from the Advaita-vedanta school. Chronologically it precedes the Ramayana.

Verse 5.89.17

आत्मवानिह सर्वस्मादतीतो विगतैषणः ।
आत्मन्येव हि संतुष्टो न करोति न चेहते ॥ १७ ॥

ātmavāniha sarvasmādatīto vigataiṣaṇaḥ |
ātmanyeva hi saṃtuṣṭo na karoti na cehate || 17 ||

But the spiritual man remains quite aloof and afar from these, and has no desire for any such thing;he is content with himself, and finds his rest in the supreme soul, beside which he has nothing in view.
