Translation -
We purify this soul with eight limbs of yoga, and six accomplishments of tranquility, self-restraint, abstention from sexual enjoyment, forbearance faith, and desire for salvation. With the practice of yoga, I drive far away the sin of thy soul, and the disease of thy body.
Footnote -
Intelligent persons should first try to uproot the causes of the disease, secondly they should try to stop its appearance, thirdly they should stop its development, fourthly they should remove it through the proper use of medicine. Disease should be checked in all its four stages. Eight: (1) Yamas (2) Niyamas (3) Āsana (4) Prānāyāma (5) Pratyahār (6) Dharma (7) Dhyāna (8) Smādhi. Pt. Khem Karan Das Trivedi interprets yava as God and six accomplishments as six duties of a Brahman, i.e., to learn, to teach, to perform Yajña, to oficiate at a Yajña, to give alms, to receive aIms. Griffith translates Ashta Yoga, as ploughed by eight oxen, and Shata Yoga, as ploughed by six oxen.
