In plain words
Ātmabodha — Awakening to the Self. For those whose wrongdoing has been burned thin by discipline, who have grown quiet, whose craving has fallen away, who now want only mokṣa — for them, because it is what they are looking for, this Ātmabodha is set down.
Close to the Sanskrit
|| Ātmabodha || For those whose sins have been worn away by austerities, who are tranquil, who are free of passion, who long for liberation — this Ātmabodha, being what they require, is set forth.
