सह चित्तेन तास्तस्य समस्तेन्द्रियवृत्तयः ।
हृत्कोशमविशञ्छन्नाः कूर्मस्येवाङ्गसंधयः ॥ १६ ॥

saha cittena tāstasya samastendriyavṛttayaḥ |
hṛtkośamaviśañchannāḥ kūrmasyevāṅgasaṃdhayaḥ || 16 ||

The functions of his senses receded into heart, and the operations of his mind retired to his brain, and remained hidden therein, like the members of a tortoise drawn inside its shell.
