Abandoning all actions by the mind, the Lord of himself dwells happily in the city of nine gates, neither acting nor making act.

The city of nine gates. Manasā — by the mind — indicates that renunciation is first internal.

Sarvakarmāṇi saṃnyasya — abandoning all actions — describes not negation but offering. Vaśī — Lord of himself — indicates autonomy. Nava-dvāre pure — city of nine gates — is the body: two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth, anus, genitals (9 openings). Dehī — the dweller in the body — dwells sukham — happily — na kurvan na kārayan — without acting nor making act. Is witness, not agent.
