In a pure place, not occupied or taken over by impure persons, and untouched by impure things, in a place made pure, having set down a seat made of wood and the like, neither too high nor too low, covered with cloth, deerskin, and kusha grass, and seated on that seat, which makes the mind serene and gives support, having made the mind one-pointed on the discipline and free of disorder, with the activity of mind and senses restrained, with the activity of mind and senses wholly drawn in, he should practise the discipline for the purification of the self, for release from bondage; that is, he should carry out the beholding of the self.
