Yoga Sutras 4.31
Patanjali, explained by Swami Vivekananda
ततः कृतार्थानां परिणामक्रमसमाप्तिर्गुणानाम् ॥
tataḥ kṛtārthānāṃ pariṇāmakramasamāptirguṇānām
Then are finished the successive transformations of the qualities, they having attained the end.
In plain words: Then the constant changes of nature's qualities, the gunas, come to an end for that person. They have done their job.
Swami Vivekananda explains
Then all these various transformations of the qualities, which change from species to species, cease for ever.
