Shloka 56
Adhyāya 42 — Mahābhūta–Indriya–Adhyātma-Vyavasthā
Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
काम क्रोधं भयं लोभमभिद्रोहमथानृतम् । इन्द्रियाणां निरोधेन सदा त्यजति दुस्त्यजान्,सदा इन्द्रियोंके निरोधसे मनुष्य काम, क्रोध, भय, लोभ, द्रोह और असत्य--इन सब दुस्तयज अवगुणोंको त्याग देता है
kāmaṁ krodhaṁ bhayaṁ lobham abhidroham athānṛtam | indriyāṇāṁ nirodhena sadā tyajati dustyajān ||
Wika ni Vāyu: “Sa palagiang pagpipigil sa mga pandama, naihuhulog ng tao ang mga bisyong mahirap talikdan—pagnanasa, galit, takot, kasakiman, masamang-loob, at kasinungalingan.”

Educational Q&A
Sustained restraint of the senses (indriyāṇāṁ nirodha) is presented as the practical means to abandon entrenched moral failings—desire, anger, fear, greed, malice, and untruth—thereby stabilizing one’s conduct in dharma.
Vāyudeva is speaking as a moral instructor, enumerating key inner enemies and prescribing sense-control as the discipline through which a person can reliably give them up.
