धैर्यकथा। उदासीनकौपीनम्। विचारदण्डः । ब्रह्मावलोकयोगपट्टः। श्रियां पादुका। परेच्छाचरणम् । कुण्डलिनीबन्धः । परापवादमुक्तो जीवन्मुक्तः । शिवयोगनिद्रा च। खेचरी मुद्रा च। परमानन्दी। निर्गुणगुणत्रयम्। विवेकलभ्यम्। मनोवागगोचरम्। अनित्यं जगद्यज्जनितं स्वप्रजगदभ्रगजादितुल्यम्। तथा देहादिसंघातं मोहगुणजालकलितं तद्रज्जुसर्पवत्कल्पितम्। विष्णुविध्यादिशताभिधानलक्ष्यम्। अङ्कशो मार्गः। शून्यं न संकेतः। परमेश्वरसत्ता। सत्यसिद्ध- योगो मठः । अमरपदं न तत्स्वरूपम्। आदिब्रह्मस्वसंवित्। अजपा गायत्री। विकारदण्डो ध्येयः ॥
True conviction is their patched garment. Non-alignment is their loincloth. Reflection (of the truths of the Vedanta) is their (emblematic-)staff. The vision of Brahman (as non-different from the Self) is their yoga-cloth. Sandals (consist in avoiding contact with worldly) wealth. Activity (for bare living) at the behest of others. Their bondage (is only in the desire to direct) the Kundalini (into the Susumna). Liberated while alive, as they are freed from denial of the highest (Brahman). The oneness with Siva is their sleep. True knowledge (by denying joy in Avidya) or the Khechari-mudra is their supreme bliss. The (bliss of) Brahman is free from the (three) qualities (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas). (Brahman) is realized by discrimination (of the real from the unreal) (and) it is beyond the reach of the mind and speech. The phenomenal world is impermanent as it is produced (from Brahman which alone is real); it is similar to a world seen in a dream and an elephant in the sky (i.e. illusory): similarly, the cluster of things such as the body is perceived by a network of a multitude of delusions and it is fancied to exist as a serpent in a rope (due to imperfect knowledge). The (worship of) gods named Vishnu, Brahma and a hundred others culminate (in Brahman). The goad is the path. (The path) is not void, only conventional. The strength of the supreme Lord (is the support to the aerial path). The Yoga accomplished by truth is the monastery. The position (heaven) of gods does not constitute its real nature. The prime source Brahman is self-realization. (The ascetic) shall meditate on the absence of distinction, based on the Gayatri through the Ajapa Mantra. Restraint on the mind is the patched garment.
