श्रोत्रादीनीन्द्रियाण्यन्ये संयमाग्निषु जुद्धति । शब्दादीन् विषयानन्य इन्द्रियाग्निषु जुह्नति
śrotrādīnīndriyāṇyanye saṁyamāgniṣu juhvati | śabdādīn viṣayānanya indriyāgniṣu juhvati ||
بعضُ السالكين يقدّمون الحواسَّ—ابتداءً بالسمع—في نيران ضبط النفس. وآخرون يقدّمون موضوعات الحواس—ابتداءً بالصوت—في نيران الحواس نفسها.
