Being not completely satisfied in heart, sitting in a solitary spot on the bank of the SarasvatÄ« River, the knower of dharma began to contemplate. He then spoke as follows.
Sarvatmakena means the same as sarvatmana (by the whole). Na ati prasidad hrdayah means “he whose heart was not completely pleased.†Because of dissatisfaction in his heart he began to conjecture (vitarkayan). He spoke to himself internally.
