विवेकवैराग्यगुरुप्रयत्नमन्त्रैः स्वतन्त्रैः स्वचिदात्मगेहात् ।
नोत्सादयेच्चित्तपिशाचमेनं यावत्कुतस्तावदिहात्मसिद्धिः ॥ ७१ ॥

vivekavairāgyaguruprayatnamantraiḥ svatantraiḥ svacidātmagehāt |
notsādayeccittapiśācamenaṃ yāvatkutastāvadihātmasiddhiḥ || 71 ||

Unless and until you drive away this wicked goblin of your heart, from the abode of your intelligent soul (i.e. the body) by means of your discrimination and dispassionateness, and your power of mantras and tantras, you cannot expect to be successful (siddha) in your endeavours.
