Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ, मन और बुद्धि वश में हैं, जो मोक्ष के लिए समर्पित मुनि है, जो इच्छा, भय और क्रोध से रहित है — वह सदा मुक्त ही है।
English Translation
The sage whose senses, mind, and intellect are controlled, who is devoted to liberation, and who is free from desire, fear, and anger — such a person is forever liberated.
Commentary (टीका)
Completing the meditation technique from the previous verse, Krishna describes the state of the liberated meditator. Control of senses, mind, and intellect combined with freedom from the three great disturbances (desire, fear, anger) results in permanent liberation. The emphatic 'sada mukta eva' (forever liberated indeed) indicates that such a person is already free — liberation is their natural state, not a future attainment.
