Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
सम्यग्युक्तो यदा55त्मानमात्मन्येव प्रपश्यति । तदैव न स्पृहयते साक्षादपि शतक्रतो:
samyagyukto yadātmānam ātmany eva prapaśyati | tadaiva na spṛhayate sākṣād api śatakratoḥ ||
إذا كان اليوغي قد تهذّب حقًّا فرأى الذات في الذات، ففي تلك اللحظة بعينها لا يعود يطمع—حتى—في المنزلة الظاهرة لِـ«شَتَكْرَتُو» (إندرا). فالبيت يبيّن أن التحقّق الباطني المباشر يطغى على إغراء الرتبة والثواب السماويين.

A Brahmin speaker is instructing about the fruit of disciplined yoga: the yogin turns inward, realizes the ātman, and thereby becomes free from craving for external rewards, even divine sovereignty.
