निर्वाणैकतया ज्ञस्य वासनैव न वासना ।
लेखादामोपमा त्वब्धेरूर्म्यादि न जलेतरत् ॥ ६ ॥

nirvāṇaikatayā jñasya vāsanaiva na vāsanā |
lekhādāmopamā tvabdherūrmyādi na jaletarat || 6 ||

All worldly thoughts and desires are nothing to the anaesthetic spirit of the self-extinct sage (in his nirvana); they are as imperceptible as the slender lines in a painting, and as lean as the rippling curls on the surface of the sea, which are not distinct and disjoined from its waters.
