प्रतिश्रयान्नपानाद्यैः शय्याप्रावरणादिभिः ॥ योगधर्मः ससारत्वादभेद्यः पापमुद्गरैः ॥ ४१ ॥

Shelter, food, drink, bedding, blankets and so on. The dharma of yoga is impenetrable by the hammers of sin because it is essenceless.

english translation

वज्रतंदुलवज्ज्ञेयं तथा पापेन योगिनः ॥ न लिप्यंते च तापौघैः पद्मपत्रं यथांभसा ॥ ४२ ॥

It is to be understood as a thunderbolt and a dustbin, and so it is to be understood by the sinful yogi. They are not covered by the floods of heat just as a lotus leaf is not covered by water.

english translation

यस्मिन्देशे वसेन्नित्यं शिवयोगरतो मुनिः ॥ सो ऽपि देशो भवेत्पूतः सपूत इति किं पुनः ॥ ४३ ॥

Even the land where the sage engaged in Śivayoga resides is hallowed and sacred, let alone Śivayogin himself.

english translation

तस्मात्सर्वं परित्यज्य कृत्यमन्यद्विचक्षणः ॥ सर्वदुःखप्रहाणाय शिवयोगं समभ्यसेत् ॥ ४४ ॥

Hence a shrewd and efficient man shall eschew all activities and practise Śivayoga in order to quell miseries.

english translation

सिद्धयोगफलो योगी लोकानां हितकाम्यया ॥ भोगान्भुक्त्वा यथाकामं विहरेद्वात्र वर्तताम् ॥ ४५ ॥

A Yogin who has achieved the fruits of Yoga may sport about after enjoying the pleasures as he wishes or shall remain here performing the requisite services.
