भोगाभोगतिरस्कारैः कार्श्यं नेयं शनैर्मनः ।
रसापहारैस्तज्ज्ञेन कालेनाजीर्णपर्णवत् ॥ ५६ ॥

bhogābhogatiraskāraiḥ kārśyaṃ neyaṃ śanairmanaḥ |
rasāpahāraistajjñena kālenājīrṇaparṇavat || 56 ||

Therefore the mind is to be gradually curbed and contracted in itself, by a dislike of all earthly enjoyments; and the knower of his self should try by long practice of abstinence, to desiccate his spirit of its moisture, to the dryness of a faded leaf.
