Verse 6.80.31

अन्तस्था ह्यखिलास्त्यक्त्वा साध्यार्थेतरवासनाः ।
गुदादिद्वारसंकोचान्स्थानकादिक्रियाक्रमैः ॥ ३१ ॥

antasthā hyakhilāstyaktvā sādhyārthetaravāsanāḥ |
gudādidvārasaṃkocānsthānakādikriyākramaiḥ || 31 ||

It is by driving away all desires from the heart, beside the only object in view, and by contracting all the orifices of the body;as also by keeping the stature, the head and neck erect, that one should attend the practices enjoined by the yoga sastra.
