Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
विशुद्धबुद्धिः समलोष्टकाञ्चनः समस्तभूतेṣu च तत्समाहितः ।
स्थानं परं शाश्वतमव्ययञ्च परं हि मत्वा न पुनः प्रजायते ॥
viśuddhabuddhiḥ samaloṣṭakāñcanaḥ samastabhūteṣu ca tatsamāhitaḥ / sthānaṁ paraṁ śāśvatam avyayañ ca paraṁ hi matvā na punaḥ prajāyate
以清净之慧，视土块与黄金平等；于一切众生之中恒常摄心归向“彼”（至上实在）；了知最高住处常恒不坏者，便不再受生。
