॥ ३ ॥ । । ॥ ५१ ॥
In plain words
Section three: the mind on trial. One moment it is laughing, the next it is wailing. Lost, it goes roaming off in all ten directions. Now elated, now furious — it condemns the decent and the wicked, and praises them too.
Close to the Sanskrit
|| 3 || The section on the censure of the mind. It laughs; sometimes it wails; being deluded, it wanders the ten directions. Sometimes elated, sometimes enraged, it censures and praises the cultivated one and the wicked one.
