Educational Q&A
The core teaching is that a disciplined and well-governed mind becomes inaccessible to common inner दोष-s—sloth, envy, careless judgment, dejection, and craving—thereby preserving clarity and dharmic conduct.
Śakra (Indra) is describing the inner condition of certain exemplary persons: he lists negative mental states and declares that these do not ‘enter’ them, highlighting their steadiness and moral-psychological excellence.
