8.10 प्रयाणकाले at the time of death, मनसा with mind, अचलेन unshaken, भक्त्या with devotion, युक्तः joined, योगबलेन by the power of Yoga, च and, एव only, भ्रुवोः of the two eyrows, मध्ये in the middle, प्राणम् Prana (breath), आवेश्य having placed, सम्यक् thoroughly, सः he, तम् that, परम् Supreme, पुरुषम् Purusha, उपैति reaches, दिव्यम् resplendent.Commentary The Yogi gets immense inner strength and power of concentration. His mind becomes ite steady through constant practice of concentration and meditation. He practises concentration first on the lower Chakras, viz., Muladhara, Svadhishthana and Manipura. He then concentrates on the lotus of the heart (Anahata Chakra). Then he takes the lifreath (Prana) through the Sushumna and fixes it in the middle of the two eyrows. He eventually attains the resplendent Supreme Purusha (Person) by the above Yogic practice.This is possible for one who has devoted his whole life to the practice of Yoga.

।।8.10।। व्याख्या --प्रयाणकाले मनसाचलेन ৷৷. स तं परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम्--यहाँ भक्ति नाम प्रियताका है; क्योंकि उस तत्त्वमें प्रियता (आकर्षण) होनेसे ही मन अचल होता है। वह भक्ति अर्थात् प्रियता स्वयंसे होती है, मन-बुद्धि आदिसे नहीं। अन्तकालमें कवि, पुराण, अनुशासिता आदि विशेषणोंसे (पीछेके श्लोकमें) कहे हुए सगुण-निराकार परमात्मामें भक्तियुक्त मनुष्यका मन स्थिर हो जाना अर्थात् सगुण-निराकार-स्वरूपमें आदरपूर्वक दृढ़ हो जाना ही मनका अचल होना है।पहले प्राणायामके द्वारा प्राणोंको रोकनेका जो अधिकार प्राप्त किया है, उसका नाम 'योगबल' है। उस योगबलके द्वारा दोनों भ्रुवोंके मध्यभागमें स्थित जो द्विदल चक्र है, उसमें स्थित सुषुम्णा नाड़ीमें प्राणोंका,अच्छी तरहसे प्रवेश करके वह (शऱीर छोड़कर दसवें द्वारसे होकर) दिव्य परम पुरुषको प्राप्त हो जाता है।
