6.75

यत्नजस् तु मन्त्रोदयः अरघट्टघटीयन्त्रवाहनवत् एकानुसन्धिबलात् चित्रं मन्त्रोदयं दिवानिशम् अनुसन्दधत् मन्त्रदेवतया सह तादात्म्यम् एति

Transliteration (IAST)

yatnajas tu mantrodayaḥ araghaṭṭaghaṭīyantravāhanavat ekānusandhibalāt citraṃ mantrodayaṃ divāniśam anusandadhat mantradevatayā saha tādātmyam eti

— arising from effort ; — the arising of the mantra ; — like the working of the pots of a water-wheel ; — by the force of a single continuous awareness ; — variegated ; — day and night ; — continuously attending to ; — with the deity of the mantra ; — identity ; — attains

But the arising of the mantra is born of effort: like the working of the pots on a water-wheel, by the force of a single continuous awareness, one who attends day and night to the variegated arising of the mantra attains identity with the deity of the mantra.
