Explanation in English from 膧c膩rya P奴jyap膩da鈥檚 Sarv膩rthasiddhi:
The threefold nature of activity鈥�yoga鈥搃s admitted. But what is the mark (濒补办峁峁嘺) of influx (腻蝉谤补惫补)? For the worldly souls, 鈥�yoga鈥� is influx (腻蝉谤补惫补).
Just as the gate from which the water flows into the lake is called 鈥�腻蝉谤补惫补鈥�, similarly the activity or 鈥�yoga鈥�, which is the conduit for the flow of karmic matter into the soul, is called the influx (腻蝉谤补惫补).
