prāyaśaḥ puṇdarīkākṣa
yuñyanto yogino manaḥ
viṣīdanty asamādhānān
mano-nigraha-karśitāḥ
prāyaśaḥ - for the most part; puṇḍarīka-akṣa - O lotus-eyed Lord; yuñjantaḥ - who engage; yoginaḥ - yogīs; manaḥ - the mind; viṣīdanti - become frustrated; asamādhānāt - because of inability to attain trance; manaḥ-nigraha - by the attempt to subdue the mind; karśitāḥ - weary.
Without the shelter of the Supreme Lord, a yogī easily becomes discouraged in the difficult task of fixing his mind on the Supreme.
