TEXT
तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस् तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥ ६८ ॥ tasmad yasya maha-baho
nigrhitani sarvasaḥ
indriyanindriyarthebhyas
tasya prajna pratisthita
tasmat-therefore; yasya-of one's; maha-baho-O mighty-armed one; nigrhitani-so curbed down; sarvasaḥ-all around; indriyani-the senses; indriya-arthebhyaḥ-for the sake of sense objects; tasya-his; prajna-intelligence; pratisthita-fixed.
TRANSLATION
Therefore, O mighty-armed, one whose senses are restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence.
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.
