Devanagari script
न दुष्करमनाशि त्वं सुकरं हाशनं विना । विशुद्धि चक्षुरादीनां षण्णामिन्द्रियगामिनाम्
Transliteration
na duṣkaram anāśi tvaṁ sukaraṁ hāśanaṁ vinā | viśuddhiś cakṣur-ādīnāṁ ṣaṇṇām indriya-gāminām ||
Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “For one who does not eat, nothing is truly difficult; even what is ordinarily hard becomes easy without food. And by such restraint, the six sense-faculties—beginning with the eye—are purified and brought under control.”
