The Brahmana said: O foremost of all virtuous and vowobserving men, you talk of the senses; what are they? How might they be subdued? What is the good of subduing them? How does a creature obtain the fruits of doing it? I eagerly desire to kuow all about these matters.
ब्राह्मण उवाच इन्द्रियाणि तु यान्याहुः कानि तानि यतव्रत। निग्रहश्च कथं कार्यो निग्रहस्य च किं फलम्॥ कथं च फलमाप्नोति तेषां धर्मभृतां वर। एतदिच्छामि तत्त्वेन धर्मं ज्ञातुं निबोध मे॥
