यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः | इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः
yatato hyapi kaunteya puruṣasya vipaścitaḥ . indriyāṇi pramāthīni haranti prasabhaṃ manaḥ
因为，噢，贡蒂之子，那些骚动的感官，甚至能强行劫走一个有辨别力的人的心，即使他正在努力精进。
For, O son of Kunti, the turbulent organs violently snatch away the mind of an intelligent person, even while he is striving diligently.
修行者首先应该掌控自己的感官。感官就像马匹。如果你能完美地掌控这些马匹，你就能安全抵达目的地。骚动的马匹会把你摔在路上。同样地，骚动的感官会将你抛入感官对象之中，使你无法抵达你的灵性目的地，即至高居所（Param Dhama），或永恒和平与不朽的居所，或解脱（Moksha）。
The aspirant should first bring the senses under his control. The senses are like horses. If you keep the horses under your perfect control you can reach your destinaton safely. Turbulent horses will throw you down on the way. Even so the turbulent senses will hurl you down into the objects of the senses and you cannot reach your spiritual destination? viz.? Param Dhama (the supreme abode) or the abode of eternal peace and immortality or Moksha (final liberation). (Cf.III.33V.14).
