Shloka 32
Adhyāya 222 — ब्रह्मस्थानप्राप्ति: मोक्षधर्मे समत्वव्रतम्
Attaining the Brahman-Station: The Vow of Equanimity in Mokṣadharma
Devanagari script
नोर्ध्व नावाड्न तिर्यक् च न क्वचिच्छक्र कामये । न हिज्ञेये न विज्ञाने न ज्ञाने कर्म विद्यते
Translation
“O Indra, I do not desire the worlds above (heaven), below (Pātāla), or even the middle realm of mortals. For me, no action is required—neither for the sake of the knowable (jñeya) nor for knowledge and realized understanding (jñāna–vijñāna).”
