เมื่อหลงลืมจักรวาลและตั้งมั่นเป็นหนึ่งเดียว จิตย่อมไม่วิ่งไปที่ใด—ดุจช้างเจ้าผู้เมามายเที่ยวอยู่ในสวนแห่งอารมณ์ทางอินทรีย์. เสียงกังวานนี้เป็นตะขอคม (อังกุศ) ที่สามารถข่มได้; นาทะเป็นดั่งแหผูกมัดกวางภายใน. และในการกั้นมหาสมุทรภายใน มันประหนึ่งเป็นแนวฝั่ง; นาทะที่ประกอบกับพรหมัน-ปรณวะ (โอม) มีสภาวะเป็นแสงสว่าง.
Forgetting the universe, one-pointed, it does not run anywhere—the mind, like an intoxicated lordly elephant roaming in the garden of sense-objects. This resonance is a sharp goad capable of restraint; nāda becomes a net for binding the inner deer. And in checking the inner ocean it becomes, as it were, a shoreline; the nāda joined to the Brahman-Pranava is of the nature of light.
