न मुक्तो विषयद्वेष्टा न वा विषयलोलुपः, असंसक्तमनाः नित्यं प्राप्ताप्राप्तमुपाश्नुते। ॥15॥
na mukto viṣaya-dveṣṭā na vā viṣaya-lolupaḥ, asaṁsakta-manāḥ nityaṁ prāptāprāptam-upāśnute. (15)
The liberated person does not feel strong desire or dislike for sensory pleasures. They remain calm and detached, experiencing both what they have and what they do not have.
