Translation

ရေများသည် ပြည့်လာသော်လည်း အခြေတည်ရာ၌ မလှုပ်မယှက်သော သမုဒ္ဒရာထဲသို့ ဝင်သကဲ့သို့၊ ဆန္ဒအားလုံးသည် သူထဲသို့ ဝင်လာသည်။ သူသည် ရှာန္တိ (śānti) ငြိမ်းချမ်းမှုကို ရရှိသည်—ဆန္ဒကို ဆန္ဒတက်သူမဟုတ်။

Academic Translation

As waters enter the ocean, which is being filled yet remains unmoving in its foundation, so all desires enter him; he attains peace—not the one who desires desires.

Verse Context

• Śānti through desirelessness (akāmatā); fullness (pūrṇatā) of the Self
• Mahavakya: Echoes the realization implied by ‘ayam ātmā brahma’: the Self is full and unmoved; desires may appear but do not compel.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (matches Bhagavad Gītā 2.70 meter/style)
