Chapter 6: Dhyana Yoga, verse 21
सुखमात्यन्तिकं यत्तद्बुद्धिग्राह्यमतीन्द्रियम्।
वेत्ति यत्र न चैवायं स्थितश्चलति तत्त्वतः ॥
Say itsukham ātyantikaṁ yat tad buddhi-grāhyam atīndriyam
vetti yatra na chaivāyaṁ sthitaśh chalati tattvataḥ
Translation
When he (the Yogi) feels that infinite bliss which can be grasped by the pure intellect and which transcends the senses, and is established therein, never moving away from the reality.
Swami Sivananda
When one experiences that absolute Bliss, which can be intuited by the intellect and which is beyond the senses, and being thus established, this person surely does not swerve from Reality.
Swami Gambirananda
Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).
Where one knows that infinite happiness which can be grasped by the intellect but is beyond the reach of the senses, and is established in that condition, one does not swerve from it.
Swami Adidevananda
Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).
Where he realizes the limitless Bliss, which is to be grasped by intellect and is beyond the senses; remaining where he does not depart from the Reality.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).
When he enjoys the bliss that surpasses the senses and can only be grasped by the pure intellect, when he comes to rest within his highest self, he will never again stray from reality.
