kiṃ bahūktyā sādhakena mantraḥ samyagupāsitaḥ | śatrūṇāṃ gatibuddhyādeḥ staṃbhano nātra saṃśayaḥ || 115 ||
À quoi bon en dire davantage ? Lorsque le sādhaka a honoré et pratiqué le mantra comme il se doit, il opère sans aucun doute la stambhana des ennemis : il arrête leur mouvement, leur intelligence et le reste.
