ब्राह्मणानुयात्रा—शौनकोपदेशः
Brāhmaṇas Follow into Exile and Śaunaka’s Instruction
हियते बुध्यमानो5पि नरो हारिभिरिन्द्रियै: । विमूढसंज्ञो दुष्टाश्वैरुदभ्रान्तैरिव सारथि:,समझदार मनुष्य भी मनको हर लेनेवाली इन्द्रियोंद्रारा विषयोंकी ओर खींच लिया जाता है। उस समय उसकी विचारशक्ति मोहित हो जाती है। जैसे दुष्ट घोड़े वशमें न होनेपर सारथिको कुमार्गमें घसीट ले जाते हैं, यही दशा उस अजितेन्द्रिय पुरुषकी भी होती है
hriyate budhyamāno 'pi naro hāribhir indriyaiḥ | vimūḍha-saṃjño duṣṭāśvair udabhrāntair iva sārathiḥ ||
Even a discerning man is carried away by the sense-organs that steal the mind and drag it toward objects of enjoyment. In that moment his awareness becomes deluded—like a charioteer pulled off the right road by unruly, untrained horses. Such is the condition of one who has not conquered the senses: knowledge may be present, yet conduct is overpowered by uncontrolled impulses.
