For those attached to enjoyment and power, of minds stolen away by that, the wisdom of determination is not established in concentration

The condition of attachment: bhoga-aiśvarya-prasaktānām (for those attached to enjoyment and dominion). Their mind is apahṛta-cetasaḥ (of mind stolen away/removed) — sensory attraction disperses attention.

Consequence: vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ (wisdom of determination) na vidhīyate (is not established) samādhi (in concentration/absorption). Samādhi requires unperturbed focus.

The progression is causal: attachment → dispersion → inability to concentrate → impossibility of samādhi.
