From this (tataḥ) [arise] the emergence of atomic minuteness and the further [Siddhis] (aṇimādi-prādurbhāvaḥ | nom sg), perfection of the body (kāya-saṃpat | nom sg), and (ca) non-obstruction by the properties of those [elements] (tad-dharmānabhighātaḥ | nom sg).
Practise making yourself small and subtle without losing your strength. Within a posture, consciously move between yielding, stability, and resilience, and sense how adaptability strengthens the body.
The Vyāsa-Bhāṣya lists eight powers that arise from mastery of the elements: minuteness, lightness, greatness, reach, unhindered fulfillment of desire, mastery, lordship, and the realization of whatever is willed. Bodily perfection and invulnerability to the properties of earth, water, fire, wind, and space arise as well.
Therefrom spring up minute and the other perfections, excellence of body, and non-destruction of the merits of it.
Therefrom proceed Attenuation and the rest; as also perfection of the body, and the non-destruction of its functions.
Aus dieser folgt Hervortreten der Atomkleinheit usw., Trefflichkeit des Leibes und Unverletzlichkeit seiner Eigenschaften.
As a result of this, atomization (aṇiman) and the other [perfections] come about; [there is] perfection of body and there is no obstruction by the properties of these [elements].

रूपलावण्यबलवज्रसंहननत्वानि कायसंपत् ||46||
Beauty of form, grace, strength, and diamond-like firmness (rūpa-lāvaṇya-bala-vajra-saṃhananatvāni | nom pl) [constitute] perfection of the body (kāya-saṃpat | nom sg).
Physical practice can unite beautiful form (rūpa), grace (lāvaṇya), strength (bala), and dependable firmness. In each posture, sense which of these qualities needs room today.
The Vyāsa-Bhāṣya glosses kāya-saṃpat briefly as beauty of form, radiance, extraordinary strength, and diamond-like firmness.
The excellence of body consists of colour, loveliness, strength and adamantine density.
Beauty (symmetry of form), Loveliness, Strength, and Adamantine Toughness (of the body) constitute Bodily Perfection.
[Bemerkung:] Die Trefflichkeit des Leibes besteht in Schönheit, Anmut, Kraft und diamantener Festigkeit.
Beauty and grace and power and the compactedness of the thunderbolt, [this is] perfection of body.
