For as the impurities of metallic ores, melted in the blast (of a furnace), are consumed, even so the taints of the organs are destroyed through the suppression of the breath.

Let him destroy the taints through suppressions of the breath, (the production of) sin by fixed attention, all sensual attachments by restraining (his senses and organs), and all qualities that are not lordly by meditation.

उच्चावचेषु भूतेषु दुर्ज्ञेयामकृतात्मभिः । ध्यानयोगेन सम्पश्येद् गतिमस्यान्तरात्मनः ॥ ७३ ॥
Let him recognise by the practice of meditation the progress of the individual soul through beings of various kinds, (a progress) hard to understand for unregenerate men.

सम्यग्दर्शनसम्पन्नः कर्मभिर्न निबध्यते । दर्शनेन विहीनस्तु संसारं प्रतिपद्यते ॥ ७४ ॥
He who possesses the true insight (into the nature of the world), is not fettered by his deeds; but he who is destitute of that insight, is drawn into the circle of births and deaths.

अहिंसयेन्द्रियासङ्गैर्वैदिकैश्चैव कर्मभिः । तपसश्चरणैश्चौग्रैः साधयन्तीह तत्पदम् ॥ ७५ ॥
By not injuring any creatures, by detaching the senses (from objects of enjoyment), by the rites prescribed in the Veda, and by rigorously practising austerities, (men) gain that state (even) in this (world).
