यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः ।हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः ॥
yasmānnodvijate loko lokānnodvijate ca yaḥ |harṣāmarṣabhayodvegairmukto yaḥ sa ca me priyaḥ ||
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.
जिससे संसार को कष्ट नहीं होता और जिसे संसार से कष्ट नहीं होता, जो हर्ष, ईर्ष्या, भय और घबराहट से मुक्त है, वह मुझे प्रिय है।
ज्याच्यामुळे जगाला त्रास होत नाही आणि ज्याला जगामुळे त्रास होत नाही, जो हर्ष, मत्सर, भय आणि उद्वेग यांपासून मुक्त आहे, तो 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.
यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः ।हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः ॥
संतुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः ।
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.
12.16अनपेक्षः शुचिर्दक्ष उदासीनो गतव्यथः ।
One who expects nothing, is pure, capable, unconcerned, free from worry, and has given up all self-centred undertakings: that devotee of mine is dear to me.
