शान्ते वातपरिस्पन्दे यथा गन्धः प्रशाम्यति ।
तथा शान्ते मनःस्पन्दे शाम्यन्ति प्राणवायवः ॥ ४४ ॥

śānte vātaparispande yathā gandhaḥ praśāmyati |
tathā śānte manaḥspande śāmyanti prāṇavāyavaḥ || 44 ||

As the fragrance of flowers ceases to be diffused in the air, when the breezes have ceased to blow; so the vital breath, ceases to breathe, when the action of the mind is at a stop. (Hence is the concentration of the mind, to one object only strongly enjoyed in the yoga practice).{GL_NOTE:74000:}
