Excerpt from The Hindu Yoga-System
And agaln, In like spirit, he speaks at iii.51. First he quaintly describes how the gods tempt an advanced Yogin with the sensual pleasures of their transitory heaven: Sir, will you sit here? Will you rest here? This pleas ure might prove attractive. This maiden might prove attractive. This elixir wards off old age and death. And so on. Then he suggests the Yogin's answer to these enticements, and in so doing he rises to a pitch of sustained and noble eloquence.
