Pratyāhāra—Cosmic Withdrawal / Dissolution Sequence
Devanagari script
संसारे विनिवृत्ते तु मुक्तो लिङ्गेन मुच्यते / निःसंबन्धो ह्यचैतन्यः स्वात्मन्येवावतिष्ठते
Transliteration
saṃsāre vinivṛtte tu mukto liṅgena mucyate / niḥsaṃbandho hyacaitanyaḥ svātmanyevāvatiṣṭhate
Translation
When withdrawal from saṃsāra is complete, the liberated one is freed even from the liṅga (subtle body). Unconnected, as though stilled, he abides in his own Ātman alone.
