Adhyaya 40 — The Yogin’s Impediments (Upasargas), Subtle Concentrations, and the Eight Siddhis
एतान्येव तु सन्धान्य सप्त सूक्ष्माणि पार्थिव ।
भूतादीनां विरागोऽत्र सद्भावज्ञस्य मुक्तये ॥
etāny eva tu sandhāya sapta sūkṣmāṇi pārthiva /
bhūtādīnāṃ virāgo 'tra sadbhāvajñasya muktaye
王よ、まさにこの七つの微細原理に心を定めるとき、諸元素および関連する諸要素に対する離貪(ヴィラーガ)が生じる。実在を知る者(サッドバーヴァ)にとって、これは解脱へと導く。

Right meditation is not for refined enjoyment but for disenchantment with the entire field of experience. Knowledge of reality (sadbhāva) is validated by the growth of virāga, culminating in freedom.
Didactic yoga-ācāra material; it supports the Purāṇa’s broader dharma teaching but is not itself one of the five defining topics.
‘Seven subtle principles’ likely indicate a graded inner map used for laya: the practitioner uses subtle contemplations to dissolve identification with bhūtas/tanmātras, reversing outward cognition into its source.
