Removing the five faults of the five sense, viz., (withdrawing them from their objects of) sound, form, touch, taste, and scent, and removing those conditions called Pratibha and Apavanga, O king, of the Mithilas, all the senses should be fixed upon the mind.
पञ्चानामिन्द्रियाणां तु दोषानाक्षिप्य पञ्चधा। शब्दं रूपं तथा स्पर्श रसं गन्धं तथैव च॥ प्रतिभामपवर्गं च प्रतिसंहृत्य मैथिल। इन्द्रियग्राममखिलं मनस्यभिनिवेश्य ह॥
