योगस्वरूप-धारणा-समाधि-वर्णनम् (केशिध्वजोपदेशः)
वदतस्तिष्ठतो यद्वा स्वेच्छया कर्म कुर्वतः । नापयाति यदा चित्तात्सिद्धां मन्येत तां तदा ॥ ६२ ॥
vadatastiṣṭhato yadvā svecchayā karma kurvataḥ | nāpayāti yadā cittātsiddhāṃ manyeta tāṃ tadā || 62 ||
બોલતા, ઊભા રહેતા, કે સ્વઇચ્છાએ કર્મ કરતા હોવા છતાં—જ્યારે તે (પરમ-સ્મૃતિ) ચિત્તમાંથી કદી દૂર ન જાય, ત્યારે તેને સિદ્ધ અવસ્થા માનવી।
