Verse 98

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ९८ ॥

In plain words

Through the means of knowledge that says ‘not the universe,’ the world's forms lose their appearance for the sage and he releases them, as one who has drunk a fruit's juice lays aside the fragrant fruit. His heart is filled by one taste of nectar-bliss, dense with being and consciousness. Knowing the whole world to be without essence, he remains self-luminous, with Citta at peace.

Close to the Sanskrit

Through the means of knowledge that says ‘not the universe,’ the appearance of the world-form dissolves and he abandons it, as one who has drunk a fruit's juice discards the fragrant fruit itself. Filled in the heart by tasting a morsel of the single nectar-bliss, dense with being and consciousness, he knows this whole world to be without essence and remains self-luminous, with tranquil Citta.
