Dvitīyopadeśaḥ (Prāṇāyāma) · Verse 60

भवेत्सत्त्वं च देहस्य सर्वोपद्रववर्जितः | अनेन विधिना सत्यं योगीन्द्रो भूमिमण्डले

bhavet sattvaṃ ca dehasya sarvopadrava-varjitaḥ | anena vidhinā satyaṃ yogīndro bhūmimaṇḍale

The body becomes sāttvic and free from all afflictions. Truly, through this method, one becomes a lord of yogīs on earth.

This verse concludes the description of sītkārī with elevated benefits. Sattvaṃ dehasya indicates that the body acquires the quality of sattva — purity, luminosity, and balance. The sāttvic body is light, flexible, and does not obstruct spiritual practice.

Sarvopadravavarjitaḥ — “free from all afflictions” — means immunity to physical, mental, and environmental disturbances. The forces that normally destabilize a human being no longer have power over the yogī established in this practice.

The final declaration, yogīndro bhūmimaṇḍale — “lord of yogīs on earth” — is the supreme recognition. The term yogīndra combines “yogī” with “indra” (lord/king), indicating complete mastery. Satyam (truly) emphasizes that this is not rhetorical exaggeration but a verifiable promise.
