Adhyaya 40 — The Yogin’s Impediments (Upasargas), Subtle Concentrations, and the Eight Siddhis
ब्रह्मसङ्गिमनः कुर्वन्नुपसर्गात् प्रमुच्यते । उपसर्गैर्जितैरेभिरुपसर्गास्ततः पुनः ॥
brahma-saṅgi-manaḥ kurvann upasargāt pramucyate | upasargair jitair ebhir upasargās tataḥ punaḥ ||
मन ब्रह्मात संलग्न/स्थिर केल्याने तो (अशा) विघ्नांपासून मुक्त होतो। परंतु ते विघ्न जिंकल्यावर, त्यानंतर पुन्हा इतर विघ्न उद्भवतात।

Freedom is stabilized by brahma-oriented attention, but the path is iterative: overcoming one layer of distraction reveals subtler ones, requiring sustained practice.
Philosophical/yogic instruction; not a direct expression of sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita.
