Contentment, perfection and siddhi dawns in that person who is happy and contented with whatever has come; who does not hanker for something more. It is so strange, and yet very true! Be contented with what you have and you will see perfection or siddhi dawning in you.

तान्युपेक्ष्य यथा प्राप्तवर्ती सिद्धिमवाप्नुयात् ।
Contentment, perfection and siddhi dawns in that person who is happy and contented with whatever has come; who does not hanker for something more. It is so strange, and yet very true! Be contented with what you have and you will see perfection or siddhi dawning in you. If you hanker for siddhi, you will not attain it. You may think you will be fulfilled and satisfied when you have siddhi. But it's the other way around. When you are satisfied, you will get siddhi. You may think that achievements follow siddhi, i.e. when you get fulfilled then you will achieve. Or when you achieve something, then you will be fulfilled. But Ashtavakra says, 'Be satisfied now'. Achievements will dawn in you. Siddhi will dawn in you. He was revealing a big secret to Janaka. Be satisfied and perfection will dawn. You will become a siddha. You cannot ever achieve siddhi by your hankering, your restlessness. Be happy with what you have.
Your hankering is always for what you don't have. And there will always be something you will not have. So your hankering has a continuum and, thus, there is a postponement of your perfection. Ashtavakra says that by dropping the hankering and being fulfilled and satisfied, perfection will come rushing to you!
Krishna said the same, that when you are fulfilled then all the desires and their achievements will flow towards you, just as all the rivers flow into the ocean. And this is our practical experience! Just look at your life. Take one step back and look at your life. Has this not happened?
Then, Ashtavakra goes on, taking layer by layer, taking all those points which needed a final touch for Janaka. Ashtavakra had such a refined level of understanding and communication. He did such a refined work on Janaka. Almost everything had been already done. Ashtavakra just worked on the small little details and decorations that were needed to bring out the total perfection that Janaka was.
