Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4/Verse 27

सर्वाणीन्द्रियकर्माणि प्राणकर्माणि चापरे ।

आत्मसंयमयोगाग्नौ जुह्वति ज्ञानदीपिते ॥४-२७॥

sarvāṇīndriyakarmāṇi prāṇakarmāṇi cāpare ।


ātmasaṃyamayogāgnau juhvati jñānadīpite ॥4-27॥

Others sacrifice all actions of prāṇa and the senses in the fire of yoga of the restraint of the self kindled by knowledge.
