बहिर्लक्ष्यलक्षणम् अथ बहिर्लक्ष्यलक्षणं ।
नासिकाग्रे चतुर्भिः षड्भिरष्टभिः दशभिः द्वादशभिः क्रमात्

व्योम यदि पश्यति स तु योगी भवति ।
चलदृष्ट्या व्योमभागवीक्षितुः पुरुषस्य दृष्ट्यग्रे ज्योतिर्मयूखा वर्तते ।

Now, the characteristics of extraneous aim" are described. He is called the real Yogi who can regularly see the element of ether, of colour yellowish white, the ether of reddish colour, blue and dark colour from a distance from the point of nose to four, six, eight, ten or twelve fingers respectively. By observing in ether (the void place) by that dynamic sight, the rays of light are seen apparently clear. A Yogi can only see those divine rays. When in both corners of eyes, the ray of light (Mayükha) is seen like the hot gold, his sight then is concentrated. The "Yogl" attains immortality who sees that ray at a distance of twelve fingers. The person who sees that ray from ether irrespective of the distance above head, become the perfect Yogi.
