श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
त्रिष्वेतेषु प्रयोगेषु मनःप्रशमनं वरम् ।
साध्यं विद्धि तदेवाशु यथा भवति तच्छिवम् ॥ २९ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
triṣveteṣu prayogeṣu manaḥpraśamanaṃ varam |
sādhyaṃ viddhi tadevāśu yathā bhavati tacchivam || 29 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Of the three practices of the restriction of the breath, body and mind, I ween the repression of the mind and its thoughts to be the best; because it is easily practicable and I will tell you how it is to be done to our good.
