प्राणायामस्त्वयं प्रोक्तः प्रत्याहारं ततः शृणु । विषयेषु प्रवृत्तस्य चेतसो विनिवर्तनम्
prāṇāyāmastvayaṃ proktaḥ pratyāhāraṃ tataḥ śṛṇu | viṣayeṣu pravṛttasya cetaso vinivartanam
ପ୍ରାଣାୟାମ ବ୍ୟାଖ୍ୟା ହେଲା; ଏବେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାହାର ଶୁଣ। ବିଷୟମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ପ୍ରବୃତ୍ତ ଚେତନାକୁ ପଛକୁ ଫେରାଇ ଭିତରକୁ ଆଣିବା ହିଁ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାହାର।
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).
