Notes

"6.Just as a multitude of dark and dense clouds [vanish] due to a forceful wind, [the results of] even the most evil deeds obviously (hi) dissolve by [the power of] yoga. 7. Just as a quick [burning] fire [reduces) a pile of firewood [into ashes] within a moment, [the practice of) yoga destroys [instantaneously the results of] evil deeds although accumulated over long time.[2]
