SYNONYMS
tasmattherefore; yasyaof one's; maha-bahoO mighty-armed one; nigrhitaniso curbed down; sarvasahall around; indriyanithe senses; indriya-arthebhyahfor the sake of sense objects; tasyahis; prajnaintelligence; pratisthitafixed.
TRANSLATION
Therefore, O mighty-armed, one whose senses are restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence.
PURPORT
As enemies are curbed by superior force, similarly, the senses can be curbed not by any human endeavor, but only by keeping them engaged in the service of the Lord. One who has understood this—that only by Krsna consciousness is one really established in intelligence and that one should practice this art under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master—is called sadhaka, or a suitable candidate for liberation.
