Người ấy luôn tự mãn bởi chính Tự Ngã, tự an trụ như Tự Ngã của muôn loài. Dẫu không của cải vẫn thường tri túc; dẫu không nương tựa vẫn có đại lực.

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.
