Krishna expands Verse 16 into a positive, actionable formula. He states that for the person who is properly regulated and measured (yukta) in their eating and recreation (āhāra-vihārasya), who is regulated in their effort and daily work (yukta-ceṣṭasya karmasu), and who is perfectly regulated in their sleep and wakefulness (yukta-svapnāvabodhasya)—for that specific person, the practice of Yoga becomes the ultimate destroyer of all sorrow and pain (yogo bhavati duḥkha-hā).
