พึงรับเอาการปฏิบัติที่กล่าวไว้ก่อนแล้วเพียงหนึ่งในสี่ส่วน กลางวันหรือยามเย็นพึงฝึกตลอดหนึ่งยาม วันละหนึ่งครั้งพึงทำเควละกุมภกะ (การกลั้นลมหายใจอันบริสุทธิ์) การถอนอินทรีย์ออกจากอารมณ์ทั้งหลายอย่างชัดเจน เรียกว่า ปรัตยาหาระ เมื่อโยคีตั้งมั่นในกุมภกะ นั่นแลเรียกว่า ปรัตยาหาระ สิ่งใดที่ตาเห็น พึงภาวนาว่า “สิ่งนั้นคืออาตมัน (ตนแท้)”
One should adopt a quarter portion of the practice previously described. By day, or else in the evening, one should practice for the duration of one yāma. Once each day one should perform kevala-kumbhaka. The clear withdrawal of the senses from their objects is (called) pratyāhāra. The yogin, having taken to kumbhaka—this is said to be pratyāhāra. Whatever the eye sees, of that and that one should contemplate: “that is the Self.”
