Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
त्यक्तसङ्गो जितक्रोधो लघ्वाहारो जितेन्द्रियः ।
पिधाय बुद्ध्या द्वाराणि मनो ध्याने निवेशयेत् ॥
tyaktasaṅgo jitakrodho laghvāhāro jitendriyaḥ | pidhāya buddhyā dvārāṇi mano dhyāne niveśayet ||

Meditation is not merely a technique; it rests on moral-emotional purification (angerlessness), lifestyle moderation (light diet), and detachment, culminating in deliberate sensory withdrawal guided by buddhi.
Ācāra-yoga instruction; supportive teaching within the Purāṇa’s broader compendium, not a sarga/manvantara/genealogy passage.
‘Closing the doors with buddhi’ points to pratyāhāra: the discriminative faculty disengages attention from sense-objects so the mind can abide in its source and become fit for samādhi.
