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 ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ຕໍ່ຈາກນັ້ນ ຜູ້ຮູ້ທັນຄວນຮວບຮວມກຸ່ມຫ້າຢ່າງ (ອິນທຣີ) ໃຫ້ເຂົ້າສູ່ໃຈ. ແລ້ວພ້ອມກັບອິນທຣີທັງຫ້າ ຈົ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ໃຈທີ່ຟຸ້ງຊ່ານສະຫງົບ ໂດຍວາງໄວ້ໃນສະມາທິຕໍ່ອັດຕາສູງສຸດ.

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.
