### SB 4.8.76

> पञ्चमे मास्यनुप्राप्ते जितश्वासो नृपात्मजः ।\
> ध्यायन्ब्रह्म पदैकेन तस्थौ स्थाणुरिवाचलः ॥७६॥

> pañcame māsy anuprāpte\
> jita-śvāso nṛpātmajaḥ\
> dhyāyan brahma padaikena\
> tasthau sthāṇur ivācalaḥ

*pañcame*—in the fifth; *māsi*—in the month; *anuprāpte*—being situated; *jita-śvāsaḥ*—and still controlling the breathing; *nṛpa-ātmajaḥ*—the son of the King; *dhyāyan*—meditating; *brahma*—the Supreme Personality of Godhead; *padā ekena*—with one leg; *tasthau*—stood; *sthāṇuḥ*—just like a column; *iva*—like; *acalaḥ*—without movement.

**By the fifth month, Mahārāja Dhruva, the son of the King, had controlled his breathing so perfectly that he was able to stand on only one leg, just as a column stands, without motion, and concentrate his mind fully on the Param-brahman.**
