The original Sanskrit

इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः । निर्दोषं हि समं ब्रह्म तस्माद् ब्रह्मणि ते स्थिताः ॥

ihaiva tairjitaḥ sargo yeṣāṃ sāmye sthitaṃ manaḥ nirdoṣaṃ hi samaṃ brahma tasmād brahmaṇi te sthitāḥ

Translations

Literal translation

Here itself is rirth conquered by them whose minds are established on sameness. Since Brahman is the same (in all) and free from defects, therefore they are established in Brahman.

Swami Gambhirananda

हिंदी अनुवाद

जिनका मन समत्वभाव में स्थित है, उनके द्वारा यहीं पर यह सर्ग जीत लिया जाता है; क्योंकि ब्रह्म निर्दोष और सम है इसलिये वे ब्रह्म में ही स्थित हैं।
