Verse 71

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ७३ ॥

In plain words

The mind is a wild animal, bolting down a ruinous road. Dispassion is the one yoke built to check it — and the Creator himself made it for exactly this.

Close to the Sanskrit

To restrain the mind-beast running along the evil path, dispassion alone is the fitting neck-yoke, fashioned by the Creator.
