Self-restraint, renunciation, and carefulness, are the three horses of Brahman. He who rides on the car of his soul, to which are yoked these horses with the help of traces furnished by good conduct, and drives it, shaking off all fear of death, goes, O king, to the regions of Brahman.
दमस्त्यागोऽप्रमादश्च ते त्रयो ब्रह्मणो हयाः॥ शीलरश्मिसमायुक्तः स्थितो यो मानसे रथे। त्यक्त्वा मृत्युभयं राजन् ब्रह्मलोकं स गच्छति॥
