इन्द्रियाणामनुत्सगों मृत्युनापि विशिष्यते । अत्यर्थ पुनरुत्सर्ग: सादयेद् दैवतान्यपि,इन्द्रियोंको सर्वधा रोक रखना तो मृत्युसे भी बढ़कर कठिन है और उन्हें बिलकुल खुली छोड़ देना देवताओंका भी नाश कर देता है

indriyāṇām anutsargo mṛtyunāpi viśiṣyate | atyarthaḥ punar utsargaḥ sādayed daivatāny api ||
Translation
การกดข่มอินทรีย์ไว้โดยสิ้นเชิงยากยิ่งกว่าความตาย; แต่การปล่อยอินทรีย์ให้เตลิดไร้ขอบเขตนั้นทำลายล้างได้ถึงขั้นให้แม้เหล่าเทพยังพินาศ
