केवलं दृश्यते योगी गतो ध्यानैकनिष्ठताम् ।
स्थितो वज्रसमाधाने विपक्ष इव पर्वतः ॥ ९ ॥

kevalaṃ dṛśyate yogī gato dhyānaikaniṣṭhatām |
sthito vajrasamādhāne vipakṣa iva parvataḥ || 9 ||

The yogi is seen to be solely absorbed in his meditation, and sitting steadfast in his contemplation, like a wingless and unmoving mountain.
