Chapter 2 · Verse 2
यत्र यत्र गतो वासि तत्र तत्र समा�धयः
yatra yatra gato vāsi tatra tatra samādhayaḥ
Janaka’s realization has a radical consequence: samādhi is no longer a state to be attained through practice but an ever-present condition. Wherever he goes, there it is — in the palace or the forest, in the living body or the dead. The question “what do I care about the body?” is not denial of embodiment but freedom from identification with it. This reverses the usual yogic understanding: rather than seeking samādhi through withdrawal from the world, Janaka finds that samādhi is his natural condition once the illusion of separation dissolves.
