and having conquered the fourfold breath-control by the increase of mātrās, / having conquered the subtle elements by the senses and the senses by the objects of sense, (37) / free from egoism, fear, exertion, anger, and greed, / free from malice, and detached, free from affection and desire, (38) / having established the aforementioned seat of yoga free of qualities, / one should meditate in the heart on that god, the universe, the lord of the universe, the all-pervading, (39) / without beginning or end, peaceful, devoid of the three qualities; / fixing the tongue against the palate and not touching teeth with teeth, (8.179.40)
