Chapter II

#	Sanskrit Original	Translation by Y. Subrahmanya Sarma	Translation by Swami Bhuteshananda	Translation by Swami Sivananda
7.	सा न कामयमाना निरोधरूपत्वात्॥	It is no worldly desire, for it is of the nature of suppression.	Devotion does not require anything else because it is attained through complete control of the senses.	It is not moved by desire, because of its nature being manifested in the form of control (of desires).
8.	निरोधस्तु लोकवेदव्यापारन्यासः॥	Suppression means abandoning all worldly and Vedic activities.	Control or cessation means discarding public opinion, the injunctions of the Veda and all activities.	On the other hand, Nirodha (control of desires) means the resignation to the Lord of all worldly and scriptural observances.
9.	तस्मिन्ननन्यता तद्विरोधिषूदासीनता च॥	And exclusive devotion to Him and indifference to all things that are obstacles to it.	In that (devotion) there is cessation of everything other than devotion (i.e., one-pointedness) and indifference to things opposed to it.	(Nirodha also means) concentrated (or single-minded) devotion to the Lord and indifference to all that is antagonistic to Him.
10.	अन्याश्रयाणां त्यागोऽनन्यता॥	'Exclusive devotion' is abandonment of all other supports.	Discarding the resorting to everything else (other than devotion, or God) is one-pointedness.	Single-heartedness means the abandoning of all other supports.
11.	लोकवेदेषु तदनुकूलाचरणं तद्विरोधिषूदासीनता॥	Indifference to obstacles consists in undertaking only such activities - whether of ordinary life or those enjoined in the Vedas - as are favourable to it.	The devotee's conduct should be in conformity with public views and the Vedic injunctions, and indifferent towards views that are against it.	By indifference to all that is antagonistic to Him means the performance of those social and scriptural rituals and ceremonies that are congenial to Him.
