The verse is spoken in the first person, and this is a rarity.
Viśrānto'smi ciraṃ śrāntaḥ — “I am at rest, long wearied”.
The word viśrānta is the very one Śuka begged of Janaka (2.35) and which he found (2.74).
Note the pair: śrānta and viśrānta, “wearied” and “rested”. The play of roots conveys everything at once.
And two marks of rest, both through absence.
Viśrānta-sandeha — “doubt laid to rest”. Not “answers received”.
Vigata-aśeṣa-kautuka — “all curiosity gone”. Kautuka means “inquisitiveness, appetite for the new, interest”.
Here is a token rarely thought of. He who has found is no longer curious. Not because he is bored, but because there is nothing left to seek.
