Translation
Kapila dit : «L’homme engagé sur la voie de l’action (pravṛtti) ne peut accomplir les yama et niyama et les autres observances énoncées dans les sūtra du Yoga-śāstra. Cette conduite yôgique est sans péril et sans négligence ; elle ne se laisse pas vaincre par le désir et les forces semblables.»
