Attachment and aversion for the objects of the senses abide in the senses; let no one come under their sway; for, they are his enemies.

इन्द्रियइन्द्रिय (अर्थात् प्रत्येक इन्द्रिय) के विषय के प्रति (मन में) रागद्वेष रहते हैं;  मनुष्य को चाहिये कि वह उन दोनों के वश में न हो;  क्योंकि वे इसके (मनुष्य के) शत्रु हैं।।
