अन्य योगीलोग श्रोत्रादि समस्त इन्द्रियोंका संयमरूप अग्नियोंमें हवन किया करते हैं और दूसरे योगीलोग शब्दादि विषयोंका इन्द्रियरूप अग्नियोंमें हवन किया करते हैं।Commentary
Some Yogis are constantly engaged in restraining the senses. They gather their senses under the guidance of the Self and do not allow them to come in contact with the sensual objects. This is also an act of sacficie. Others direct their senses only to the pure and unforbidden objects of the senses. This is also a kind of sacrifice.
