संतुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः ।मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥
saṃtuṣṭaḥ satataṃ yogī yatātmā dṛḍhaniścayaḥ |mayyarpitamanobuddhiryo madbhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ ||
always content, a yogi, self-controlled and firm in resolve, with mind and understanding given to me: that devotee of mine is dear to me.
जो सदा संतुष्ट है, योगी है, संयमी है और दृढ़ निश्चय वाला है, जिसने मन और बुद्धि मुझे सौंप दी है, वह मेरा भक्त मुझे प्रिय है।
जो सदा संतुष्ट, योगी, संयमी आणि दृढनिश्चयी आहे, ज्याने मन आणि बुद्धी मला अर्पण केली आहे, तो माझा भक्त मला प्रिय आहे.
In Sanskrit, sounds at word edges merge (sandhi), so a line looks like one long word. Split it to see each word and its meaning.
संतुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः ।मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥
अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च ।
One who hates no being, who is friendly and compassionate, free from the sense of "mine" and from ego, the same in pain and pleasure, and forgiving,
12.15यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः ।
One by whom the world is not troubled, and who is not troubled by the world, who is free from excitement, envy, fear and anxiety, is dear to me.
