शान्ताशेषविशेषार्था जगदेव महाटवी ॥ ४० ॥

jñasya nirvāṇadṛśyasya nispandārthā nabhomayī |
śāntāśeṣaviśeṣārthā jagadeva mahāṭavī || 40 ||

The wise man who has lost the sight of the visibles, and of the endless particulars abounding in this forest of the world, beholds on every side the silent and motionless sphere of heaven spread all around him.
