अष्टावक्र उवाच तेन ज्ञानफलं प्राप्तं योगाभ्यासफलं तथा, तृप्तः स्वच्छेन्द्रियो नित्यमेकाकी रमते तु यः। ॥10॥

aṣṭāvakra uvāca tena jñāna-phalaṁ prāptaṁ yogābhyāsa-phalaṁ tathā, tṛptaḥ svacchendriyo nityam-ekākī ramate tu yaḥ. (10)

This verse expresses that a person who is satisfied and has control over their senses, and who enjoys their own company, has truly achieved both knowledge and the practice of yoga. Such a person finds joy in their inner peace and solitude.
