शान्तो दान्तः परमुपरतः क्षान्तियुक्तः समाधिंकुर्वन्नित्यं कलयति यतिः स्वस्य सर्वात्मभावम् ।तेनाविद्यातिमिरजनितान्साधु दग्ध्वा विकल्पा -न्ब्रह्माकृत्या निवसति सुखं निष्क्रियो निर्विकल्पः ॥ ३५६ ॥

In plain words

Calm, senses gathered in, withdrawn from the pull of the world, endlessly patient, the ascetic who lives in unbroken absorption comes to know, over and over, that he himself is the Self of everything there is. In that knowing the confusions born of ignorance's darkness burn away completely, and he simply lives as Brahman — at rest, doing nothing, free of every distinction.

Close to the Sanskrit

Tranquil, self-controlled, utterly withdrawn, endowed with forbearance, ever practicing samādhi, the ascetic perceives his own nature as the Self of all; by that, having thoroughly burnt away the distinctions born of the darkness of ignorance, he dwells happily in the form of Brahman, actionless, free of mental constructs.
