Janaka:
- First of all I was averse to physical activity, then to lengthy speech, and finally to thinking itself, which is why I am now established.
- In the absence of delight in sound and the other senses, and by the fact that I am myself not an object of the senses, my mind is focused and free from distraction - which is why I am now established.
- Owing to the distraction of such things as wrong identification, one is driven to strive for mental stillness. Recognising this pattern I am now established.
- By relinquishing the sense of rejection and acceptance, and with pleasure and disappointment ceasing today, Brahmin, I am now established.
- Life in a community, then going beyond such a state, meditation and the elimination of mind-made objects - by means of these I have seen my error, and I am now established.
- Just as the performance of actions is due to ignorance, so their abandonment is too. By fully recognising this truth, I am now established.
- Trying to think the unthinkable, is doing something unnatural to thought. Abandoning such a practice therefore, I am now established.
- He who has achieved this has achieved the goal of life. He who is of such a nature has done what has to be done.
