Śarīrin, Buddhi, and the Limits of Sense-Perception (इन्द्रियबुद्धिशरीरिविचारः)
ततो मनसि संगृहा पञ्चवर्ग विचक्षण: । समाददध्यान्मनो भ्रान्तमिन्द्रियेः सह पठ्चभि:
tato manasi saṅgṛhya pañcavargaṁ vicakṣaṇaḥ | samādadhyān mano bhrāntam indriyaiḥ saha pañcabhiḥ ||
毘湿摩は言った。「それから、識別ある者は五つの群（諸根）を心のうちに収めるべきである。次いで五根とともに、さまよう心を至上の自己への禅観に据えて鎮め、安定させよ。」

Educational Q&A
Sense-restraint and mental steadiness are prerequisites for meditation: first withdraw the five senses into the mind, then fix the restless mind—along with the senses—upon the Supreme Self.
In Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhishma continues his guidance by outlining a practical inner discipline: collecting the senses, calming the mind’s distraction, and directing attention toward the Paramatman through meditation.
