नाशयित्वा स्वमात्मानं मनसो वृत्तिसंक्षये ।
सद्रूपं यदनाख्येयं तद्रूपं तस्य वस्तुनः ॥ ३९ ॥

nāśayitvā svamātmānaṃ manaso vṛttisaṃkṣaye |
sadrūpaṃ yadanākhyeyaṃ tadrūpaṃ tasya vastunaḥ || 39 ||

That which the Yogi sees within himself after forgetting his personality, and repressing the faculties and functions of his mind, in his Samadhi—meditation, is verily the form of the unspeakable Being.
