Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)

।।6.8।। जिसका अन्तःकरण ज्ञान-विज्ञानसे तृप्त है, जो कूटकी तरह निर्विकार है, जितेन्द्रिय है और मिट्टीके ढेले, पत्थर तथा स्वर्णमें समबुद्धिवाला है — ऐसा योगी युक्त (योगारूढ़) कहा जाता है।

Swami Adidevananda (English)

The yogin whose mind is content with knowledge of the self and also with knowledge of the difference between the self and Prakrti, who is established in the self, whose senses are subdued, and to whom earth, stone, and gold all seem alike, is called integrated.

Swami Gambirananda (English)

One whose mind is satisfied with knowledge and realization, who is unmoved, who has his organs under control, is said to be Self-absorbed. The yogi treats all alike, a lump of earth, a stone, and gold.

Swami Sivananda (English)

The Yogi who is satisfied with the knowledge and wisdom of the Self, who has conquered the senses, and to whom a clod of earth, a piece of stone, and gold are all the same, is said to have attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)

He whose self is satisfied with knowledge and with what consists of varied thoughts; who remains peak-like and has completely subdued his senses; and to whom a clod, a stone, and a piece of gold are the same—that man of Yoga is called a master of Yoga.

Shri Purohit Swami (English)

He who desires nothing but wisdom and spiritual insight, who has conquered his senses, and who looks upon a lump of earth, a stone, and fine gold with the same eye, is a real saint.
