31. That ultimate state (yat) is characterized by completely pacified suffering (saṃśāntaduḥkham), its intrinsic nature (ātman) is truly not inert (ajaḍātmakam eva), it lies dormant or unmanifest (suptam), is gently permeated with bliss (ānandamantharam), and is free from both passion (rajas) and inertia (tamas).
