कुत्रापि न जिहासाऽस्ति नाशो वाऽपि न कुत्रचित्, आत्मारामस्य धीरस्य शीतलाच्छतरात्मनः। ॥21॥
kutrāpi na jihāsā'sti nāśo vā'pi na kutracit, ātmārāmasya dhīrasya śītalācchatarātmanaḥ. (21)
A wise person finds joy in their true self and remains calm and clear-minded, feeling no need to give up anything or experience any sense of loss.
