यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः | इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः
yatato hyapi kaunteya puruṣasya vipaścitaḥ . indriyāṇi pramāthīni haranti prasabhaṃ manaḥ
因為，貢蒂之子啊，即使是努力精進的智者，其騷動不安的感官也會強行劫走他的心識。
For, O son of Kunti, the turbulent organs violently snatch away the mind of an intelligent person, even while he is striving diligently.
修行者首先應當掌控自己的感官。感官如同馬匹，若能將馬匹完全駕馭，便能安全抵達目的地；而狂暴的馬匹則會將你摔倒在路上。同樣地，騷動不安的感官會將你拋入感官對象之中，使你無法抵達靈性目的地，即至高居所（Param Dhama）、永恆和平與不朽的居所，或解脫（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).
