आदावन्ते च मध्ये च जनो यस्मिन्न विद्यते ।येनेदं सततं व्याप्तं स देशो विजनः स्मृतः ॥ ११० ॥

In plain words

Where no one is there at the beginning, no one in the middle, no one at the end — and which pervades all this, unbroken: that place is what is called solitude.

In which, at the beginning and at the end and in the middle, no person is found; by which this is continuously pervaded — that place is declared to be solitude.
