svātmanāiva sadā tuṣṭaḥ svayaṃ sarvātmanā sthitaḥ | nirdhano 'pi sadā tuṣṭo 'py asahāyo mahābalaḥ ||
Stets durch das Selbst allein zufrieden, in sich gegründet als das Selbst aller; obgleich ohne Reichtum, bleibt er immer zufrieden; obgleich ohne Beistand, ist er von großer Kraft.
Satisfied always by the Self alone, established by himself as the Self of all; though without wealth, he is ever content; though without help, he is of great strength.
- svātmanāiva = svātmanā + eva
- nirdhano 'pi = nirdhanaḥ + api (visarga sandhi)
- tuṣṭo 'py = tuṣṭaḥ + api
- (same for second 'pi)
