Taani sarvaani samyamya yukta aaseeta matparah;
Vashe hi yasyendriyaani tasya prajnaa pratishthitaa.

61. Having restrained them all he should sit steadfast, intent on Me; his wisdom is steady
whose senses are under control.

Dhyaayato vishayaan pumsah sangas teshupajaayate;
Sangaat sanjaayate kaamah kaamaat krodho’bhijaayate.

62. When a man thinks of the objects, attachment to them arises; from attachment desire is
born; from desire anger arises.

Krodhaad bhavati sammohah sammohaat smriti vibhramah;
Smritibhramshaad buddhinaasho buddhinaashaat pranashyati.

63. From anger comes delusion; from delusion the loss of memory; from loss of memory the
destruction of discrimination; from the destruction of discrimination he perishes.
