vipran sva-labha-santustan

 sadhun bhuta-suhrttaman

nirahankarinah santan

 namasye sirasasakrt

 

Translation: 

 

I repeatedly bow My head in respect to those brahmanas who are satisfied with their lot. Saintly, prideless and peaceful, they are the best well-wishers of all living beings.

 

Purport: 

 

Srila Sridhara Svami explains that sva-labha also means “achieving one’s self,” or, in other words, self-realization. Thus an advanced brahmana is always satisfied with his spiritual understanding, never depending on material formalities or facilities.
