Source of true happiness. Bāhya-sparśeṣu asaktātmā — detached from external contacts — does not seek sensory pleasure.

Vindati ātmani sukham — finds happiness in the Self — indicates internal source. Brahma-yoga-yuktātmā — soul united to the yoga of Brahman — describes state of union. Aśnute — reaches — sukham akṣayam — indestructible, immutable happiness. External pleasure is fluctuating; the internal is stable.
