"Sampra-pyainam-rsayo  jnana-trptah

krtatmano  vita-ragah  prasantah,

te  sarvagam  sarvatah  prapya  dhira

yuktat-manah  sarva-mava-visanti."


samprapya  =  having  attained;

enam  =  this  ( the Self );

rsayah  =  sages;

jnana-trptah  =  satisfied  with  knowledge  (  and  not  left  with  longing  for  anything  else );

krt-atmanah  =  with  their  purposes  fulfilled;

vita-ragah  =  free  from  attachment;

prasantah  =  peaceful;

te  =  they;

sarvagam  =  all  pervading  ( Brahmam );

sarvatah  =  everywhere;

prapya  =  having  attained;

dhirah  =  the  wise;

"When  the  Sages  have  attained  the  Atma  ( Paramatma )  they  become  satisfied  with  their  knowledge,  their  purpose  is  fulfilled,  they  become  free  from  desire  and  they  gain  tranquillity."

"Having  attained  the  all - pervading  Atma  ( Parmatma )  everywhere,  the  wise,  thereafter  devoted  to  the  Self,  enter  into  everything."
