यत्र यत्र मनो याति बाह्ये वाभ्यन्तरेऽपि वा । तत्र तत्र शिवावस्था व्यापकत्वात्क्व यास्यति ॥४७॥

yatra yatra mano yāti bāhye vābhyantare'pi vā | tatra tatra śivāvasthā vyāpakatvāt kva yāsyati

anuṣṭubh

— wherever ; — the mind ; — goes ; — outwardly ; — or ; — inwardly ; — or even ; — there, in every such place ; — the state of Śiva (abides) ; — owing to (his) all-pervasiveness ; — where could it possibly go?

Wherever the mind goes — outside or within — there, there is the state of Śiva. Since Śiva is all-pervading, where can the mind go (to escape him)?
