Shloka 27
Adhyāya 128 — Proposal to Restrain Keśava; Sātyaki’s Warning and Vidura–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Counsel
Devanagari script
अविधेयानि हीमानि व्यापादयितुमप्यलम् । अविधेया इवादान्ता हया: पथि कुसारथिम्,'जैसे उद्दण्ड घोड़े काबूमें न होनेपर मूर्ख सारथि-को मार्गमें ही मार डालते हैं, उसी प्रकार यदि इन इन्द्रियोंको काबूमें न रखा जाय तो ये मनुष्यका नाश करनेके लिये भी पर्याप्त हैं
Translation
As unruly horses, when left ungoverned, can kill a foolish charioteer upon the very road, so too are these senses: if they are not held in check, they are sufficient to bring a man to destruction.
