śete sarvāṅga-vijvaraḥ
asantuṣṭaḥ - dissatisfied; asakṛt - repeatedly; lokān - various planets; āpnoti - he attains; api - even though; sura - of the demigods; īśvaraḥ - the master; akiñcanaḥ - possessing nothing; api - even; santuṣṭaḥ - satisfied; śete - he rests; sarva - all; aṅga - his limbs; vijvaraḥ - free of distress.
An unsatisfied brāhmaṇa wanders restlessly from one planet to another, even if he becomes King of heaven. But a satisfied brāhmaṇa, though he may possess nothing, rests peacefully, all his limbs free of distress.
Those who are unsatisfied feel distress throughout their body, becoming subject to many diseases. A satisfied brāhmaṇa, however, though he may possess nothing, is peaceful and calm, and there is no distress within his body or mind.
