यत्पदं प्रेप्सवो दीनाः शक्राद्याः सर्वदेवताः, अहो तत्र स्थितो योगी न हर्षमुपगच्छति। ॥2॥

yat-padaṁ prepsavo dīnāḥ śakrādyāḥ sarva-devatāḥ, aho tatra sthito yogī na harṣam-upagacchati. (2)

This verse highlights that a true yogin remains calm and content, even in a state that powerful beings like Indra desire but cannot achieve, showing that inner peace is more valuable than external achievements.
