“Abandoning all desires, living free from craving, from 'mine' and from 'I' — such a one attains peace.”
— Original plain-language translation
Peace reduced to three renunciations: craving (spṛhā), possessiveness (mama), ego (ahaṅkāra) — the entire machinery of suffering dismantled in a line. Note 'lives/moves' (carati): this peace walks around in the world; it is not escape.
