एतत्ते मनसि क्षीणे प्रथमं कथितं पदम् ।
द्वितीयं श्रृणु विप्रेन्द्र शक्तेरस्याः सुपावनम् ॥ १२ ॥

etatte manasi kṣīṇe prathamaṃ kathitaṃ padam |
dvitīyaṃ śrṛṇu viprendra śakterasyāḥ supāvanam || 12 ||

I have now told you, O great Vipra, all about the curbing and weakening of the mind, which is the first step towards the beatification of the soul by yoga; now attend to me to tell you, concerning the second step of the edification and strengthening of the intellect.
