Recitation with translationAdhyatma Upanishad 42

līnavṛtter anutpattir maryādoparates tu sā | sthitaprajño yatir ayaṃ yaḥ sadānandam aśnute ||42||

जब मन की बातें शांत हो जाएँ और वापस नहीं आएँ, यह उपरति का साइन है। ऐसा संन्यासी जो हमेशा खुश रहता है, वो स्थित-प्रज्ञा कहलाता है।

The non-arising (again) of mental modifications once they have dissolved—this indeed is the defining criterion of withdrawal (uparati). This renunciate is one of steady wisdom, who attains everlasting bliss.
