Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 12 - Chapter 1 - Verse 9-10


Sanskrit:

परीक्षिदपि राजर्षिरात्मन्यात्मानमात्मना ।समाधाय परं दध्यावस्पन्दासुर्यथा तरु: ॥ ९ ॥प्राक्कूले बर्हिष्यासीनो गङ्गाकूल उदङ्‍मुख: ।ब्रह्मभूतो महायोगी नि:सङ्गश्छिन्नसंशय: ॥ १० ॥

ITRANS:

parīkṣid api rājarṣirātmany ātmānam ātmanāsamādhāya paraṁ dadhyāvaspandāsur yathā taruḥ

Translation:

Mahārāja Parīkṣit then sat down on the bank of the Ganges, upon a seat made of darbha grass with the tips of its stalks facing east, and turned himself toward the north. Having attained the perfection of yoga, he experienced full self-realization and was free of material attachment and doubt. The saintly King settled his mind within his spiritual self by pure intelligence and proceeded to meditate upon the Supreme Absolute Truth. His life air ceased to move, and he became as stationary as a tree.
