तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ।।

tasmādyasya mahābāho nigṛhītāni sarvaśaḥ ।
indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyastasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā ।।

महाबाहो - One with powerful arms, तस्मात् - Hence (mind which isn't under-control will destroy buddhi), यस्य​ - For Whom, इन्द्रियाणी - indriya-s, सर्वशः - in all things, निगृहीतानि - are under-control, तस्य​ - For him, प्रज्ञा - intellect for Atma, प्रतिष्ठिता - takes firm roots

Hence, mind which sways to Indriya-s will directly disturb & destroy buddhi required for yoga. Meditating on His subhAshrya svarupa will let the sAdhaka overcome obstacles. His mind will win over indriya-s & the intellect for yoga (AtmasAkshAtkAram) will take firm roots

(A)

Hence Oh One with Long Arms, one whose Indriya-s are fully control, that one alone will have firm rooted jnana

(D)

Hence Oh One with Strong Arms, one who brings his Indriya-s fully under control know him to be an 'aparoksha jnani'
