Translation

তার মূত্র-মলত্যাগ অল্প হয় এবং নিদ্রাও স্বল্প হয়; সূচিবিদ্ধের মতো চিম্মট, চোখের কাঁপুনি, লালা, এবং মুখে দুর্গন্ধযুক্ত ঘাম (এগুলিও) দেখা দেয়। এরপর তার ক্ষেত্রে এগুলি আর সর্বথা উৎপন্ন হয় না। তারপর অধিকতর তীব্র অনুশীলনে মহাবল জন্মায়; তাতে ‘ভূচর’ নামে সিদ্ধি ঘটে এবং ভূমিস্থ প্রাণীদের উপর জয়ে সে সক্ষম হয়—বাঘ, শরভ, চিতাবাঘ, হাতি, গবয় বা সিংহ—যোগীর হাতের আঘাতে এরা নাকি মরে যায়। যোগীর রূপ কামদেবের ন্যায় হয়ে ওঠে।

Academic Translation

There arises scant urination and excretion and little sleep; (there may be) pricking sensations, trembling of the eyes, salivation, and sweat with a foul odor on the face. After that, these do not arise for him at all. Then, from more intense practice, great strength arises, by which the accomplishment called bhūcara occurs and he is capable in victory over terrestrial beings—tiger, śarabha, leopard, elephant, wild ox, or lion—said to die when struck by the yogin’s hand. The yogin’s appearance becomes like that of Kāma.
