संस्थिता स्पर्शमात्राख्या मात्रास्पर्शभ्रमात्मकः ।
समदुःखसुखो धीरः सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते ॥ ४ ॥

saṃsthitā sparśamātrākhyā mātrāsparśabhramātmakaḥ |
samaduḥkhasukho dhīraḥ so'mṛtatvāya kalpate || 4 ||

Those who have suppressed the feelings of their senses, by knowing the illusory nature of sensible perceptions; are content to remain quiet with an even tenor of their minds, both in their prosperity and adversity; are verily the men that are thought to taste the ambrosial draught of immortality in their mortal state.
