लभन्ते ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृषयः क्षीणकल्मषाः ।छिन्नद्वैधा यतात्मानः सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥

लभन्ते · labhante

ऋषयः · ṛṣayaḥ
seers
क्षीणकल्मषाः · kṣīṇakalmaṣāḥ
with impurities worn away
छिन्नद्वैधाः · chinnadvaidhāḥ
with doubts cut away
सर्वभूतहिते · sarvabhūtahite
in the welfare of all beings
रताः · ratāḥ
delighting

The seers whose impurities are worn away, whose dualities are cut through, self-controlled, delighting in the welfare of all beings — they attain extinction in Brahman.

Original plain-language translation

Liberation is inseparable from benevolence toward all creatures. Purity, doubtlessness, and discipline flower as universal goodwill. The solitary sage and the friend of beings are one figure here.
