Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 8, Verse 10

प्रयाणकाले मनसाचलेन भक्त्या युक्तो योगबलेन चैव । भ्रुवोर्मध्ये प्राणमावेश्य सम्यक् स तं परं पुरुषमुपैति दिव्यम् ॥ १० ॥

prayāṇa-kāle manasāchalena bhaktyā yukto yoga-balena chaiva bhruvor madhye prāṇam āveśhya samyak sa taṁ paraṁ puruṣham upaiti divyam

Translation

— at the time of departure, with an unmoving mind, endowed with devotion and the strength of yoga, rightly fixing the life-breath between the eyebrows, reaches that supreme divine Person.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

— वह भक्तियुक्त पुरुष अंतकाल में भी योगबल से भृकुटी के मध्य में प्राण को अच्छी प्रकार स्थापित करके, फिर निश्चल मन से स्मरण करता हुआ उस दिव्य परम पुरुष को ही प्राप्त होता है।

Commentary

The yogi's death is described as a conscious, devotional act: mind steady, filled with bhakti, breath gathered at the eyebrow centre. Even this advanced yogic practice is joined with devotion.
