As a lamp placed in a windless spot does not flicker, so is the Yogi of a controlled mind, who practices Yoga in the Self, compared.

Swami Sivananda

As a lamp kept in a windless place does not flicker, so is the simile for the yogi whose mind is under control and who is engaged in concentration on the Self.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

A lamp does not flicker in a windless place"—that is the simile used for the tranquil mind of a yogi who practices yoga.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

Just as a lamp in a windless place does not shake, this simile is recalled in the case of the man of Yoga, with a subdued mind, practicing Yoga in the Self.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

The wise man who has conquered his mind and is absorbed in the Self is like a lamp that does not flicker, as it stands sheltered from every wind.

Shri Purohit Swami

जैसे स्पन्दनरहित वायुके स्थानमें स्थित दीपककी लौ चेष्टारहित हो जाती है, योगका अभ्यास करते हुए वश में किए हुए चित्तवाले योगीके चित्तकी वैसी ही उपमा कही गयी है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जैसे स्पन्दनरहित वायुके स्थानमें स्थित दीपककी लौ चेष्टारहित हो जाती है, योगका अभ्यास करते हुए यतचित्तवाले योगीके चित्तकी वैसी ही उपमा कही गयी है।
