  So, this yoga gets its seeds from yama, niyama
  (and stuff: aadhibhiH), sprouts with aasana and
  praaNaayaama, blossoms in pratyaahaara and
  shall bear fruit with dhyaana, dhaaraNaa and 
  samaadhi??
 
  (Why does he have the last three an.gas in a 
  wrong order??)

Water the root; enjoy the fruit?

So, you get the seed (bija) and, with a little fertilizer
(asana and pranayama), you water the root with some
meditation (dhyana) to get the fruit (samadhi)?

Because King Bhoja was a polymath, not a yogi?

Translation? At any rate he is right to combine them all in a
comprehensive whole, even MMY says all 8 (means) must be practiced
*simultaneously* in Gita appendix under Yoga.
