OK, I'll give it a try:
As bees follow the queen-bee when she flies out or returns
to the nest (a rather free translation) so do indriyas become
niruddha in citta-nirodha; that's called pratyaahaara.
1 indriya a. belonging or agreeable to Indra. m. a friend of Indra. --
n. Indra's chief quality i.e. strength, might; used also of man's
powers, esp. a sense or organ of sense, also the virile power, concr,
semen.
1 niruddha a. held back, obstructed; expelled, rejected; stuffed or
filled with (instr. or ---).
1 nirodha m. shutting in, confinement, restraint, coercion,
oppression.
