Adhyaya 40 — Creation of the World
एतासां धारणानान्तु सप्तानां सौक्ष्म्यमात्मवान् ।
दृष्ट्वा दृष्ट्वा ततः सिद्धिं त्यक्त्वा त्यक्त्वा परां व्रजेत् ॥
etāsāṃ dhāraṇānāntu saptānāṃ saukṣmyam ātmavān /
dṛṣṭvā dṛṣṭvā tataḥ siddhiṃ tyaktvā tyaktvā parāṃ vrajet
ان سات دھارَناؤں کی لطیف حقیقت کو بار بار جان کر، خود ضبط یوگی متعلقہ سِدھیاں پا کر بھی انہیں بار بار ترک کرے اور پرم پد کی طرف بڑھتا جائے۔
