daivena nīyate deho yathā kālopabhuktiṣu |
lakṣyālakṣya-gatiṃ tyaktvā yas tiṣṭhet kevalātmanā ||

কালত ভোগ/অভিজ্ঞতাৰ বাবে দেহ দেৱবশে বহাই নিয়া হয়। লক্ষ্য–অলক্ষ্যৰ ফালে ধাৱমান গতি ত্যাগ কৰি যি কেৱল আত্মা ৰূপে স্থিত থাকে—সি সাক্ষাৎ স্বয়ং শিৱ; সি উত্তম ব্ৰহ্মবিদ। জীৱিত থাকিলেও সদা মুক্ত, কৃতাৰ্থ—সি পৰম ব্ৰহ্মবিদ।
The body is carried along by destiny for enjoyments/experiences in time. He who, abandoning movement toward the aimed-at and the not-aimed-at, stands as the Self alone—he is verily Śiva himself, directly; the highest knower of Brahman. Even while living he is always liberated, fulfilled—the supreme knower of Brahman.
