Krishna defines the exact internal state of someone who has perfected the regulations of the previous verses. When the mind is completely disciplined, restrained, and brought under absolute control (yadā viniyataṃ cittam), it becomes situated and rests exclusively in the Self alone (ātmany eva avatiṣṭhate). In this state, the Yogi is entirely free from craving and is devoid of all yearning for any material desires (nispṛhaḥ sarva-kāmebhyo). It is at that precise moment (tadā) that the person is declared to be 'Yukta'—perfectly yoked, united, and liberated (yukta ity ucyate).
