37. Those who bridle their mind which travels far, moves about alone,
is without a body, and hides in the chamber (of the heart), will be
free from the bonds of Mâra (the tempter).

37. Those who will restrain their thought, which travels far, alone,
incorporeal, lying in the cave (of the heart), will be freed from
Māra's fetter.
