आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् | तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी

四方から水が流れ込んでも、揺るぎなく静止している海に水が入るように、そのように、あらゆる欲望が流れ込んでも動じない人は平安を得るが、欲望を求める者はそうではない。
That man attains peace into whom all desires enter in the same way as the waters flow into a sea that remains unchanged (even) when being filled up from all sides. Not so one who is desirous of objects.
四方から水が満たされても、海が動じないように、あらゆる種類の欲望が四方から押し寄せても、自身のスヴァルーパ（本質）すなわちアートマンに安らぐ賢者は、少しも影響を受けません。賢者は平安、すなわち解脱を得ますが、感覚的な享楽の対象を渇望し、様々な欲望を抱く者はそうではありません。
Just as the ocean filled with waters from all sides remains unmoved? so also the sage who is resting in his own Svarupa or the Self is not a bit affected though desires of all sorts enter from all sides. The sage attains peace or liberation but not he who longs for objects of sensual enjoyment and entertains various desires. (Cf.XVIII.53?54).
