एवं मौनेयं उपेष्यसि क्षुरधारोपमो भव ।
जिह्वाय तालुम् आसाद्य तादृशो संयतो भव ॥ ३६ ॥
evaṃ mauneyaṃ upeṣyasi kṣuradhāropamo bhava |
jihvāya tālum āsādya tādṛśo saṃyato bhava || 36 ||
Thus will you attain the state of a sage. Become keen as a razor’s edge. Press your tongue against your palate, and thus be restrained of appetite. (36)
