Translation

ENGLISH

In that serenity all sorrows come to an end, for the intellect of one whose mind is serene soon becomes steady.

हिंदी

मन की प्रसन्नता मिलने पर उसके सब दुखों का नाश हो जाता है, और प्रसन्न चित्त वाले की बुद्धि शीघ्र ही स्थिर हो जाती है।

Explanation

The "prasada" (serenity) of the previous verse bears two fruits here: the end of sorrow and the steadiness of the intellect. A clear mind and a steady intellect strengthen each other.
