The yoga-śāstra's fourfold partition — half the stomach for food, a quarter for water, a quarter left empty for vāyu (vital breath) — is the operative measure; transgressing it upward or downward equally forecloses dhāraṇā.

For the śakta (capable one), complete cessation of bodily functions is the apex of yoga; for the common aspirant, measured āhāra keeps jīva-cetanā (individual consciousness) fit to worship Hari without the distraction of hunger or sloth.

In Puṣṭi-mārga, the body is Kṛṣṇa's instrument of līlā-anubhava (experience of divine play); its nourishment must be neither the renunciant's mortification nor the enjoyer's indulgence, but exactly the prasāda-measure Kṛṣṇa himself would accept.

His gloss is direct and philological — samādhi is the referent of yoga here, and the verse states conditions of impossibility rather than moral prohibition.

He then cites Mārkaṇḍeya-purāṇa to extend the principle to environmental conditions — extreme cold, heat, or wind equally obstruct the dhyāna-tatpara (meditation-intent) yogī. The double ca in the mūla points to two distinct sets of obstacles: the stated āhāra-nidrā extremes, and the unstated environmental extremes — a comprehensive topology of impediments to the Kṛṣṇa-bhakta's contemplative practice."

    "Madhusūdana's extension to environmental conditions (cold, heat, wind) via Mārkaṇḍeya-purāṇa treats external circumstances as obstacles structurally equivalent to internal excess — what does this imply for the yogī's relationship to place and season?",

    "advaita": "A practitioner following the Śaṅkara reading applies the fourfold stomach-partition — filling half with food, a quarter with water, leaving a quarter open — as a pre-meditation discipline, treating this not as dietary preference but as antaḥkaraṇa (inner-instrument) maintenance; any day the stomach is overloaded or empty, formal sitting is rescheduled rather than forced.",
    "viśiṣṭādvaita": "A Rāmānuja practitioner frames meal-planning and sleep-scheduling as kainkarya (service to Bhagavān): the body is Bhagavān's property, so irregular eating or sleep deprivation is a form of neglect of a divine instrument — morning sādhana begins only after the body has received its measured night's rest, and meals are offered to Bhagavān before eating, sizing the portion by what the body genuinely requires.",
    "dvaita": "A Madhva practitioner distinguishes their current capacity honestly: if they are aśakta (ordinary), they maintain measured āhāra as Hari's injunction; they do not perform dramatic fasts to signal renunciation but calibrate intake to keep vijñāna (discriminative faculty) alert for nama-smaraṇa (Hari's remembrance) — and they treat any food-related vow as conditional on continuing capacity, not as a permanent identity claim.",
    "śuddhādvaita": "A Puṣṭi-mārga sādhaka treats every meal as prasāda-reception: portions are sized by what Kṛṣṇa himself would be offered — neither the renunciant's symbolic morsel nor the householder's feast — and eating is preceded by brief remembrance of Kṛṣṇa's own āhāra in Vraja, so that yukta-āhāra becomes a moment of līlā-connection rather than a rule to obey.",
    "bhakti": "A practitioner following Śrīdhara's plain reading audits four variables each evening — did I eat excessively, fast completely, sleep too long, or stay awake too long? — and scores them simply as yogābhyāsa-anukūla (favorable to practice) or pratikūla (unfavorable); the next session's duration is adjusted accordingly, without moral self-judgment but with the same practicality one applies to equipment maintenance.",
    "advaita-bhakti": "A Madhusūdana-informed practitioner adds environmental conditions to the daily audit: sitting for dhyāna in extreme cold without adequate covering, or in a noisy wind-exposed location, is treated as structurally equivalent to overeating — an obstacle to kārya-kṣamatā (functional capacity) that the practitioner arranges the environment to remove, because Kṛṣṇa-bhakti's contemplative quality depends as much on outer conditions as on inner restraint."
