The knower of yoga, with the very sharp (instrument) of prāṇāyāma, supported by measured units (mātrā-ādhāra), and honed on the whetstone of dispassion, having cut that (bond/obstruction), is not bound.

Verse Context

• Yoga-sādhana leading to bandha-nivṛtti (release from bondage); Vairāgya and prāṇāyāma as auxiliaries to liberation
• Mahavakya: Preparatory (sādhana) relation: prāṇāyāma and vairāgya are treated as mind-purifying supports for mahāvākya-based inquiry/realization rather than the mahāvākya itself.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (śloka)
