अभ्यासाद्दृढतां यातो वैराग्यपरिलाञ्छितः ।
यथावासनमायामः प्राणानां सफलः स्मृतः ॥ ४१ ॥

abhyāsāddṛḍhatāṃ yāto vairāgyaparilāñchitaḥ |
yathāvāsanamāyāmaḥ prāṇānāṃ saphalaḥ smṛtaḥ || 41 ||

As it is long practice, that perfects a man to the rank of a cenobite and anchorite, so the gradual suppression of respiration, is attended with equal success; as repression of desires, is accompanied by many happy results.
