kṛitvā

यदृच्छालाभसन्तुष्टो द्वन्द्वातीतो विमत्सरः

kṛitvā — performing

Content with whatever comes unsought, beyond opposites, without envy, the same in success and failure — such a person acts and is not bound.

स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः

kṛitvā — keeping

Keeping outward contacts outside, the gaze between the brows, the outgoing and incoming breaths made even,

तत्रैकाग्रं मनः कृत्वा यतचित्तेन्द्रियक्रियः

kṛitvā — having made

there, making the mind one-pointed, restraining the movements of mind and senses, seated, one should practise yoga for the purifying of the self.

शनैः शनैरुपरमेद् बुद्ध्या धृतिगृहीतया

kṛitvā — having made

little by little one should come to rest, by an understanding held firm — the mind fixed in the self, and thinking of nothing at all.

दुःखमित्येव यत्कर्म कायक्लेशभयात्त्यजेत्

kṛitvā — having done

One who gives up action because it is troublesome, out of fear of bodily discomfort, has let go in the manner of restlessness, and gains nothing by it.

य इमं परमं गुह्यं मद्भक्तेष्वभिधास्यति

kṛitvā — doing

But one who declares this deepest secret among those devoted to me does the highest act of devotion, and will surely come to me.
