इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः ।निर्दोषं हि समं ब्रह्म तस्माद्ब्रह्मणि ते स्थिताः ॥

ihaiva tair jitaḥ sargo yeṣāṃ sāmye sthitaṃ manaḥ |nirdoṣaṃ hi samaṃ brahma tasmād brahmaṇi te sthitāḥ ||

इह एव · iha eva
right here
जितः · jitaḥ
conquered
सर्गः · sargaḥ
creation, cycle of birth
साम्ये · sāmye
in evenness
स्थितम् · sthitam
resting
निर्दोषम् · nirdoṣam
flawless
समम् · samam
even, same

Even here, those whose minds rest in evenness have conquered rebirth. Brahman is flawless and even, so they stand in Brahman.

Original plain-language translation

Liberation is brought into the present: conquering the cycle happens here, not only after death. Evenness of mind mirrors the evenness of Brahman. Like joins like.
