Meaning
The whole sarga in one line, as a chain. The commentary explains rest as the stilling of the mind, and the peace that comes from that rest as the very destruction of every sorrow. It is also the link between the two gatekeepers so far: peace, praised in the last sarga, is here shown to be the fruit of inquiry.
