अथ प्राणक्रियारोधमपि कृत्वा विरामदम् ।
यदि तिष्ठति तत्साधुर्मुक्त एव किमुच्यते ॥ ३० ॥

atha prāṇakriyārodhamapi kṛtvā virāmadam |
yadi tiṣṭhati tatsādhurmukta eva kimucyate || 30 ||

It is good to sit quiet; by restraining even the vital breath in Yoga meditation; whereby one can obtain his liberation: otherwise the inactive man is not to be called a Yogi, but an idler and a lazzarone.
