## Translation:
**18. ** One should contemplate on the following: *bhavana* (meditation), *desa* (place), *kala* (time), *shubhasana* (auspicious posture), *alambana* (object of meditation), *anukrama* (sequence), *dhyatavya* (object to be meditated upon), *dhyata* (meditator), *anupreksha* (reflection), *leshya* (subtle body), *linga* (sign), and *phala* (fruit).
**19. ** Knowing these, one should engage in *dharma-dhyana* (meditation on Dharma). There are four *bhavanas* (meditations) in this context: *jnana* (knowledge), *darshan* (vision), *charitra* (conduct), and *vairagya* (dispassion).
**20. ** The fruits of these four *bhavanas* are: 1. *Nischalatva* (steadiness), 2. *Asammoha* (non-delusion), 3. *Purvakarma* (past karma) *nirjara* (exhaustion), 4. *Sanga* (attachment) *ashansa* (hope) and *bhaya* (fear) *uccheda* (destruction).
**21. ** One with a steady mind, through these *bhavanas*, attains the qualification for meditation. This qualification is not attainable by others. This has also been stated by other philosophers.
**22. ** O Krishna! The mind is fickle, restless, and strong. I consider its control as difficult as controlling the wind.
