Adhyāya 240: Indriya–Manas–Buddhi–Ātman — The Inner Hierarchy and Restraint (इन्द्रिय-मनस्-बुद्धि-आत्म-क्रमः)
धूतपाप्मा तु तेजस्वी लघ्वाहारो जितेन्द्रिय: । कामक्रोधौ वशे कृत्वा निनीषेद् ब्रह्मण: पदम्
dhūtapāpmā tu tejasvī laghvāhāro jitendriyaḥ | kāmakrodhau vaśe kṛtvā ninīṣed brahmaṇaḥ padam | sattvasaṃsevanād dhīro nidrām ucchettum arhati |
毗耶娑说：洗净罪垢者，内光炽盛，饮食简约，诸根已伏；当制欲与嗔，志求趋入梵（Brahman）之至上境界。由修养萨埵（清明与净洁），坚毅之人便堪能断除昏睡（懈怠与昏沉），以戒行与自制而渐进于灵性证悟。
