Translations

Dr.S.Sankaranarayan

5.24. The seers, whose dirts have decayed; by whom dualities have been out off; whose self (mind) is controlled; and who are delighted in the welfare of all; they gain the Brahman, the Tranil One.

Shri Purohit Swami

5.24 He who is happy within his Self and has found Its peace, and in whom the inner light shines, that sage attains Eternal Bliss and becomes the Spirit Itself.

Sri Abhinav Gupta

5.24 Yo’ntah etc : Within : For him there is happiness nowhere but within and it does not depend on any external object ; there alone he rejoices; his lustre is there only. But, there is an apparent ignorance [of him] in his worldly dealings. That has been said as -

‘[A man of realisation] would wander, like a fool, with no inclination for discussion.’ (PS, 71)

Sri Ramanuja

5.24 He who, renouncing all the experiences of outside objects, ‘finds joy within,’ i.e., finds his sole joy in experiencing the self; ‘who has his pleasure within,’ i.e., whose pleasure-garden is the self; and with regard to whom the self increases his happiness by Its own alities like bliss, knowledge, sinlessness, etc.; ‘whose light is within,’ i.e., who lives, directing his knowledge solely on the self - a person of such a description is the Yogin, who ‘having become the Brahman (the self), attains the bliss of the Brahman’ i.e., the bliss of experiencing the self.
