tālamātrāviniṣkampo dhāraṇāyojanaṃ tathā | dvādaśamātro yogas tu kālato niyamaḥ smṛtaḥ ||24||

Translation

于一“塔拉-摩怛罗”（tāla-mātrā）之时长中不动不摇，是为持念（dhāraṇā）的运用；而瑜伽则说为十二摩怛罗——此种依时而定的节律，被忆持为戒律。

Academic Translation

Steadiness for the duration of a tāla-mātrā is the application of dhāraṇā; but yoga is (said to be) of twelve mātrās—this temporal regulation is remembered as the rule.
