ततोऽहं हृदयं तस्य प्रविष्टः प्राणवाजिना ।
संकटस्थः स्वया बुद्ध्या तावेबानुसरोन्तरम् ॥ १२ ॥

tato'haṃ hṛdayaṃ tasya praviṣṭaḥ prāṇavājinā |
saṃkaṭasthaḥ svayā buddhyā tāvebānusarontaram || 12 ||

Thus I entered into his heart, by means of my vehicle of my breath;and was put into difficulty of being confined therein, by my folly of following my breath in its passage into his breast.
