The wise man, one-pointed and firm in his Vow, who practices for twelve years, possesses the most intense form of the Command and he attains the (eight) yogic powers. Then he should exert (his) authority and take support in the strength of the Command. He should adorn (like an) ornament (the lineage) and observe the teacher’s Command”.
