The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Mohamudgaraḥ

Verse 30

प्राणायामं प्रत्याहारं नित्यानित्यविवेकविचारम् ।जाप्यसमेतसमाधिविधानं कुर्ववधानं महदवधानम् ॥ ३० ॥

In plain words

Steady the breath. Draw the senses back in. Keep inquiring, sorting what lasts from what does not. Sit in samādhi with the name repeating quietly inside it. Do all of it with attention — great attention.

Close to the Sanskrit

Breath-restraint, sense-withdrawal, the inquiry that discriminates the eternal from the non-eternal, the ordered practice of absorption joined with japa — do them with attention, great attention.
