Translation

মূত্র-মলত্যাগ অল্প হয় এবং নিদ্রাও কমে যায়; সূচিবিদ্ধের মতো চিমটি-চিমটি অনুভূতি, চোখের কাঁপুনি, লালা, এবং মুখে দুর্গন্ধযুক্ত ঘামও হতে পারে। এরপর তার ক্ষেত্রে এগুলি আর একেবারেই দেখা দেয় না। তারপর অধিকতর তীব্র সাধনায় মহাবল জন্মায়; তাতে ‘ভূচর-সিদ্ধি’ ঘটে এবং ভূমির জীবদের উপর জয়ে সে সক্ষম হয়। বাঘ, শরভ, চিতাবাঘ, হাতি, গবয় বা সিংহ—যোগীর হাতের আঘাতে এরা নাকি মরে যায়; এবং যোগীর রূপ কামদেবের ন্যায় হয়।

Academic Translation

Scant urination and excretion, and little sleep, arise; there may be pricking sensations, trembling of the eyes, salivation, and sweat with a foul odor on the face. Thereafter these do not arise for him at all. Then, through more intense practice, great strength arises, by which the ‘earth-moving’ accomplishment occurs and he becomes capable of victory over creatures of the earth—tiger, śarabha, leopard, elephant, wild ox, or lion—said to die when struck by the yogin’s hand; and the yogin’s form becomes like that of Kāma.
