hānam eṣāṃ kleśavad uktam ||

These are to be overcome as it was taught that hindrances should be overcome.

Charles Johnston 1912, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man

These new enemies and fears are to be overcome by ceaselessly renewing the fight, by a steadfast, dogged persistence, whether in victory or defeat, which shall put the stubbornness of the rocks to shame. For the Soul is older than all things, and invincible; it is of the very nature of the Soul to be unconquerable.

Charles Johnston 1912, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man

Therefore fight on, undaunted; knowing that the spiritual will, once awakened, shall, through the effort of the contest, come to its full strength; that ground gained can be held permanently; that great as is the dead-weight of the adversary, it is yet measurable, while the Warrior who fights for you, for whom you fight, is, in might, immeasurable, invincible, everlasting.

Charles Johnston 1912, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man
