Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)

।।2.59।। निराहारी (इन्द्रियोंको विषयोंसे हटानेवाले) मनुष्यके भी विषय तो निवृत्त हो जाते हैं, पर रस निवृत्त नहीं होता। परन्तु इस स्थितप्रज्ञ मनुष्यका तो रस भी परमात्मतत्त्वका अनुभव होनेसे निवृत्त हो जाता है।
 

Swami Tejomayananda (Hindi)

।।2.59।। निराहारी देही पुरुष से विषय तो निवृत्त (दूर) हो जाते हैं? परन्तु (उनके प्रति) राग नहीं परम तत्व को देखने पर इस (पुरुष) का राग भी निवृत्त हो जाता है।।

Swami Adidevananda (English)

The objects of the senses, except for the pleasure they bring, turn away from the abstinent dweller in the body. Even the pleasure turns away from him when the Self, which is supreme over the senses, is seen.

Swami Gambirananda (English)

The objects recede from an abstinent person, except for the taste for them. Even this taste falls away after realization of the Absolute.

Swami Sivananda (English)

The objects of the senses turn away from the abstinent man, leaving the longing behind; but his longing also turns away upon seeing the Supreme.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)

Leaving their taste behind, the sense-objects retreat from the embodied one who abstains from food; his taste too disappears when he beholds the Supreme.

Shri Purohit Swami (English)

The objects of sense turn away from him who is abstinent. Even the taste for them is lost in him who has seen the Truth.
