<< Chapter 4 verse 26

Simple

sarvāṇīndriya-karmāṇi
prāṇa-karmāṇi cāpare
ātma-saṁyama-yogāgnau
juhvati jñāna-dīpite

‘Others sacrifice all sense-activities and prāṇa[1. The life-force which performs all organic functions in the body, digestion, respiration, circulation etc.]-activities in the wisdom-fanned ātma-samyama-yoga-fire.’

Others offer up (or burn up) all the functions of the senses, and all the functions of prāṇa, —the vital energy (in the body),— in the fire of mind-restraint. (ātma=mind). That is, they direct their efforts towards disciplining the mind to retire from its love for sense-and-life-activities.
