प्राणायामस्त्वयं प्रोक्तः प्रत्याहारं ततः शृणु । विषयेषु प्रवृत्तस्य चेतसो विनिवर्तनम्
prāṇāyāmastvayaṃ proktaḥ pratyāhāraṃ tataḥ śṛṇu | viṣayeṣu pravṛttasya cetaso vinivartanam
かくしてプラーナーヤーマは説き明かされた。次にプラティヤーハーラ(pratyāhāra)を聴け。それは、感官の対象へと外に走った心を引き戻すことである。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: A yogin seated with senses symbolized as five horses being gently reined in; the mind depicted as a bird returning to the heart-lotus; arrows labeled ‘viṣaya’ turned back.
After regulating breath, the yogin must withdraw the mind from sense-objects—this is pratyāhāra.
None is mentioned; the focus is on the inner limb of yoga.
A sequential practice is implied: prāṇāyāma first, then pratyāhāra (mental withdrawal).
