'Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda untuk The Imitation Of Christ'
Pada tahun 1889, Swami Vivekananda menerjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Bengali bagian-bagian terpilih dari Buku I, bab 1-6 karya Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ. Terjemahan itu diterbitkan bersama sebuah kata pengantar dalam sebuah majalah bulanan berbahasa Bengali yang kini sudah tidak terbit lagi, Sahitya Kalpadruma. Kata pengantar dan terjemahan Bengali Swami, yang berjudul "Ishanusharana", kemudian diterbitkan dalam Complete Works berbahasa Bengali (edisi pertama), VI, hlm. 16-28. Akan tetapi, hanya kata pengantar untuk The Imitation of Christ yang diterbitkan dalam edisi berbahasa Inggris Complete Works, VIII.
Terjemahan Bengali parsial Swami Vivekananda atas The Imitation of Christ mencakup catatan-catatan kaki berupa kutipan dari kitab-kitab suci Hindu yang sejajar dengan gagasan, komentar, atau tafsiran à Kempis. Demi kejelasan, catatan-catatan kaki ini (bernomor 1 sampai 17) telah dilampirkan pada ayat-ayatnya masing-masing dalam The Imitation of Christ (ditunjukkan dalam tanda kurung), disusun di bawah judul-judul bab yang sesuai dalam buku tersebut, dan ditampilkan kembali di sini dengan huruf tebal.
Banyak dari catatan kaki berbahasa Sanskerta untuk terjemahan Bengali itu kemudian dialihbahasakan ke dalam bahasa Inggris dalam perjalanan ceramah atau penulisan Swami Vivekananda. Demi kepentingan menarik perhatian pembaca, terjemahan-terjemahan Inggris ini juga telah ditambahkan pada teks catatan kaki Swami yang telah dipulihkan. Selebihnya, ayat-ayat Sanskerta telah diterjemahkan oleh Penerbit demi kemudahan pembaca.
BUKU I
Tentang Peneladanan Kristus dan Penghinaan terhadap Segala Kesia-siaan Dunia
1. "Ia yang mengikuti Aku, tidak berjalan dalam kegelapan", demikianlah firman Tuhan [Yohanes 8.12]. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Bhagavad-Gita 7.14
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Maya-Ku ini bersifat ilahi, tersusun dari sifat-sifat dan sangat sukar untuk diseberangi. Namun, mereka yang datang kepada-Ku menyeberangi sungai kehidupan.
2. Oleh karena itu, hendaklah usaha utama kita adalah merenungkan kehidupan Yesus Kristus. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Adhyatma Ramayana,
Uttara-Kanda 5.54 (RamaGita)
ध्यात्वैवमात्मानमहर्निशं मुनिः ।
तिष्ठॆत्सदा मुक्तसमस्तबन्धनः ॥
ध्यात्वैवमात्मानमहर्निशं मुनिः ।
तिष्ठॆत्सदा मुक्तसमस्तबन्धनः ॥
Terjemahan Penerbit: Demikianlah, dengan merenungkan Diri sejati siang dan malam, hendaklah sang bijak tinggal bebas dari segala belenggu.
3. Ajaran Kristus melampaui semua ajaran orang-orang kudus; dan ia yang memiliki Roh akan menemukan di dalamnya manna yang tersembunyi. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda:
Ketika bangsa Israel ditimpa kekurangan makanan di sebuah padang gurun, Tuhan mencurahkan kepada mereka sejenis "manna".
4. Tetapi terjadilah, bahwa banyak orang yang sering mendengar Injil Kristus, namun hanya sedikit tergerak, karena mereka hampa dari Roh Kristus. Tetapi barangsiapa hendak memahami sepenuhnya dan dengan sepenuh perasaan akan kata-kata Kristus, ia harus berupaya menyelaraskan hidupnya sepenuhnya dengan kehidupan Kristus. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda (a): Bhagavad-Gita 2.29
श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ।
श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ।
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Yang lain, sekalipun mendengar tentang Itu, tidak memahaminya.
न गच्छति विना पानं व्याधिरौषधशब्दतः ।
विनाऽपरॊक्षानुभवं ब्रह्मशब्दैर्न मुच्यतॆ ॥
न गच्छति विना पानं व्याधिरौषधशब्दतः ।
विनाऽपरॊक्षानुभवं ब्रह्मशब्दैर्न मुच्यतॆ ॥
Terjemahan Penerbit: Suatu penyakit tidak akan meninggalkan tubuh hanya dengan mengulang-ulang nama obatnya; seseorang harus meminum obat itu. Demikian pula, pembebasan tidak datang hanya dengan mengucapkan kata Brahman. Brahman harus dialami.

श्रुतॆन किं यॆन न धर्ममाचरॆत् ।
Terjemahan Penerbit: Apa gunanya membaca Veda tanpa mengamalkan agama?
5. Apa gunanya bagimu berdebat secara mendalam tentang Tritunggal jika engkau hampa dari kerendahan hati dan karenanya tidak berkenan di hadapan Tritunggal? (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda:
Menurut keyakinan orang Kristen, Allah Bapa, Roh Kudus, dan Allah Putra adalah Satu dalam tiga dan Tiga dalam satu.
6. Sesungguhnya kata-kata yang muluk tidak menjadikan seseorang kudus dan adil; melainkan kehidupan yang penuh keutamaanlah yang menjadikannya dikasihi oleh Tuhan. (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Vivekachudamani 58
वाग्वैखरी शब्दझरी शास्त्रव्याख्यानकौशलम्।
वैदुष्यं विदुषां तद्वद् भुक्तयॆ न तु मुक्तये॥
वाग्वैखरी शब्दझरी शास्त्रव्याख्यानकौशलम्।
वैदुष्यं विदुषां तद्वद् भुक्तयॆ न तु मुक्तये॥
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Cara-cara yang menakjubkan untuk merangkai kata-kata, kemampuan retorika, dan menjelaskan naskah-naskah kitab dengan berbagai cara — semua ini hanyalah untuk kenikmatan kaum terpelajar, dan bukan agama.
7. Sekiranya engkau hafal seluruh isi Alkitab di luar kepala dan ucapan-ucapan semua filsuf, apa untungnya bagimu tanpa kasih kepada Tuhan dan tanpa rahmat? (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: [hanya rujukan]
—1 Korintus 13.2.
8. "Kesia-siaan belaka, segalanya sia-sia" (Pengkhotbah) kecuali mengasihi Tuhan dan melayani Dia semata. (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)

कॆ सन्ति सन्तॊऽखिलवीतरागाः ।
अपास्तमॊहाः शिवतत्त्वनिष्ठाः ॥

अपास्तमॊहाः शिवतत्त्वनिष्ठाः ॥

9. Sering-seringlah mengingat peribahasa itu, "Mata tidak pernah kenyang melihat, dan telinga tidak pernah penuh mendengar". (The Imitation of Christ V.5.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: [hanya rujukan]
—Pengkhotbah 1.8.
10. Oleh karena itu, berupayalah menarik hatimu dari kasih kepada hal-hal yang kasatmata dan mengarahkan dirimu kepada yang tak kasatmata. Sebab mereka yang menuruti hawa nafsunya menodai hati nurani mereka sendiri dan kehilangan rahmat Tuhan. (The Imitation of Christ V.5.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Mahabharata, 2.63
न जातु कामः कामानुपभोगेन शाम्यति ।
हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मॆव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥
न जातु कामः कामानुपभोगेन शाम्यति ।
हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मॆव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Hasrat tidak pernah terpuaskan oleh pemenuhan hasrat; ia justru semakin bertambah, seperti api ketika mentega dituangkan ke atasnya.
Tentang Ajaran Kebenaran
11. Apa gunanya banyak membantah dan berdebat tentang hal-hal yang gelap dan tersembunyi; yang karena ketidaktahuan akannya kita tidak akan dicela pada hari penghakiman? (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda:
Menurut pandangan Kristen, Tuhan akan menghakimi semua makhluk pada hari terakhir (hari peleburan dunia), dan akan menganugerahkan surga atau neraka sesuai dengan keutamaan atau keburukan masing-masing pribadi.
12. Ia yang kepadanya Sabda Kekal berbicara dibebaskan dari banyak pendapat. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda:
Sabda ini agak serupa dengan Maya kaum Vedantin. Sabda Ini sendirilah yang termanifestasi dalam wujud Kristus.
Tentang Pembacaan Kitab Suci
13. Kebenaran, bukan kefasihan, yang harus dicari dalam Kitab Suci. Setiap bagian Kitab Suci hendaknya dibaca dengan Roh yang sama dengan yang mengilhami penulisannya. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
नैषा तर्कॆण मतिरापनॆया ।
नैषा तर्कॆण मतिरापनॆया ।
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Pikiran pun tidak boleh terganggu oleh argumen-argumen yang sia-sia, karena ini bukan lagi soal argumen; ini adalah soal fakta.
14. Janganlah kewibawaan sang penulis menyinggungmu, entah ia berilmu tinggi atau rendah; melainkan biarlah kasih akan kebenaran murni menarikmu untuk membaca. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
आददीत शुभां विद्यां प्रयत्नादवरादपि ।
आददीत शुभां विद्यां प्रयत्नादवरादपि ।
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Pelajarilah pengetahuan tertinggi dengan pengabdian bahkan dari orang yang berkelahiran rendah.
Tentang Kasih Sayang yang Berlebihan
15. Setiap kali seseorang menginginkan sesuatu secara berlebihan, ia segera menjadi gelisah di dalam dirinya. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Bhagavad-Gita 2.67
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनु विधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनु विधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥
Terjemahan Swami Vivekananda: Sebab pikiran yang mengikuti jejak indra-indra yang mengembara akan menghanyutkan daya pembedanya, sebagaimana angin (menghanyutkan dari haluannya) sebuah perahu di atas air.
16. Orang yang sombong dan tamak tidak akan pernah dapat beristirahat. Orang yang miskin dan rendah hati dalam roh hidup bersama dalam segala kedamaian.
Orang yang belum sempurna mati terhadap dirinya sendiri akan cepat tergoda dan dikalahkan dalam hal-hal kecil dan sepele. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Bhagavad-Gita 2.62-63
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः संगस्तेषूपजायते ।
संगात्संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः संगस्तेषूपजायते ।
संगात्संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
Terjemahan Penerbit: Dengan memikirkan objek-objek indra, terbentuklah keterikatan terhadapnya. Dari keterikatan timbullah kerinduan, dan kerinduan melahirkan amarah. Dari amarah timbullah delusi, dan dari delusi, ingatan yang kacau. Dari ingatan yang kacau timbullah kehancuran daya pembeda; dan dari kehancuran daya pembeda, seseorang pun binasa.
17. Maka tidak ada kedamaian di dalam hati orang yang dikuasai nafsu jasmani, maupun di dalam orang yang terikat pada hal-hal lahiriah, melainkan hanya di dalam orang yang rohani dan saleh. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Catatan Kaki Swami Vivekananda: Bhagavad-Gita 2.60
यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः ।
इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः ॥
यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः ।
इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः ॥
Terjemahan Penerbit: Indra-indra yang bergejolak, wahai putra Kunti, dengan dahsyat menghanyutkan pikiran bahkan orang bijak sekalipun yang berjuang menuju kesempurnaan.

'Swami Vivekananda's Footnotes to The Imitation Of Christ'
In 1889, Swami Vivekananda translated into Bengali selections from Book I, chapters 1-6 of Thomas à Kempis’s The Imitation of Christ. They were published along with a preface in a now-defunct Bengali monthly magazine, Sâhitya Kalpadruma. The Swami’s preface and Bengali translation, entitled “Ishânusharana”, were later published in the Bengali Complete Works (first edition), VI, pp. 16-28. However, only the preface to The Imitation of Christ was published in the English edition of the Complete Works, VIII.
Swami Vivekananda’s partial Bengali translation of The Imitation of Christ includes as footnotes quotations from Hindu scriptures that parallel à Kempis’s ideas, comments or commentary. For the sake of clarity, these footnotes (numbered 1 through 17) have been appended to their respective verses in The Imitation of Christ (indicated in parentheses), arranged under their appropriate chapter headings in the book, and reproduced here in bold.
Many of the Sanskrit footnotes to the Bengali translation were later rendered into English during the course of Swami Vivekananda’s lecturing or writing. For the sake of interest, these English translations have also been added to the Swami’s restored footnote text. Otherwise, Sanskrit verses have been translated by the Publisher for the convenience of the reader.
BOOK I
Of the Imitation of Christ and Contempt of all the Vanities of the World
1. "He that followeth Me, walketh not in darkness", saith the Lord [John 8.12]. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Bhagavad-Gita 7.14
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥
Swami Vivekananda's Translation: This My Mâyâ is divine, made up of qualities and very difficult to cross. Yet those who come unto Me, cross the river of life.
2. Let therefore our chief endeavour be to meditate upon the life of Jesus Christ. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Adhyâtma Râmâyana,
Uttara-Kanda 5.54 (RamaGita)
ध्यात्वैवमात्मानमहर्निशं मुनिः ।
तिष्ठॆत्सदा मुक्तसमस्तबन्धनः ॥
ध्यात्वैवमात्मानमहर्निशं मुनिः ।
तिष्ठॆत्सदा मुक्तसमस्तबन्धनः ॥
Publisher's Translation: Thus meditating upon the Self day and night, let the sage abide free from all bondage.
3. The doctrine of Christ exceedeth all the doctrines of holy men; and he that hath the Spirit will find therein the hidden manna. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote:
When the Israelites were afflicted by want of food in a desert, God showered on them a kind of "manna".
4. But it falleth out, that many who often hear the Gospel of Christ, are yet but little affected, because they are void of the Spirit of Christ. But whosoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavour to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote (a): Bhagavad-Gita 2.29
श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ।
श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ।
Swami Vivekananda'S Translation: Others, hearing of It, do not understand.
न गच्छति विना पानं व्याधिरौषधशब्दतः ।
विनाऽपरॊक्षानुभवं ब्रह्मशब्दैर्न मुच्यतॆ ॥
न गच्छति विना पानं व्याधिरौषधशब्दतः ।
विनाऽपरॊक्षानुभवं ब्रह्मशब्दैर्न मुच्यतॆ ॥
Publisher's Translation: A disease does not leave the body by simply repeating the name of the medicine; one must take the medicine. Similarly, liberation does not come by merely saying the word Brahman. Brahman must be experienced.
श्रुतॆन किं यॆन न धर्ममाचरॆत् ।
श्रुतॆन किं यॆन न धर्ममाचरॆत् ।
Publisher's Translation: Of what avail is reading the Vedas without practising religion?
5. What will it avail thee to dispute profoundly of the Trinity if thou be void of humility and art thereby displeasing to the Trinity? (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote:
According to the Christians, God the Father, Holy Ghost, and God the Son are One in three and Three in One.
6. Surely great words do not make a man holy and just; but a virtuous life maketh him dear to God. (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Vivekachudamani 58
वाग्वैखरी शब्दझरी शास्त्रव्याख्यानकौशलम्।
वैदुष्यं विदुषां तद्वद् भुक्तयॆ न तु मुक्तये॥
वाग्वैखरी शब्दझरी शास्त्रव्याख्यानकौशलम्।
वैदुष्यं विदुषां तद्वद् भुक्तयॆ न तु मुक्तये॥
Swami Vivekananda's Translation: Wonderful methods of joining words, rhetorical powers, and explaining texts of the books in various ways — these are only for the enjoyment of the learned, and not religion.
7. If thou didst know the whole Bible by heart and the sayings of all the philosophers, what would it profit thee without the love of God and without grace? (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: [reference only]
—I Corinthians 13.2.
8. "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" (Eccles.) except to love God and to serve Him only. (The Imitation of Christ V.3.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Maniratnamâlâ
कॆ सन्ति सन्तॊऽखिलवीतरागाः ।
अपास्तमॊहाः शिवतत्त्वनिष्ठाः ॥
कॆ सन्ति सन्तॊऽखिलवीतरागाः ।
अपास्तमॊहाः शिवतत्त्वनिष्ठाः ॥
Publisher's Translation: They alone are holy men (Sâdhus) who are devoid of any longing for worldly objects, free from delusion and are devoted to the truth of Shiva.
9. Call often to mind that proverb "The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing". (The Imitation of Christ V.5.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: [reference only]
—Eccles. 1.8.
10. Endeavour, therefore, to withdraw thy heart from the love of visible things and to turn thyself to the invisible. For they that follow their lusts stain their own consciences and lose the grace of God. (The Imitation of Christ V.5.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Mahabharata, 2.63
न जातु कामः कामानुपभोगेन शाम्यति ।
हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मॆव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥
न जातु कामः कामानुपभोगेन शाम्यति ।
हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मॆव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥
Swami Vivekananda's Translation: Desire is never satisfied by the enjoyment of desires; it only increases the more, as fire when butter is poured upon it.
Of the Doctrine of Truth
11. What availeth it to cavil and dispute much about dark and hidden things; for ignorance of which we shall not be reproved at the day of judgement?(The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote:
According to the Christian view, God will judge all beings on the last day (the day of the dissolution of the world), and will award heaven or hell according to the virtues or vices of different individuals.
12. He to whom the Eternal Word speaketh is delivered from many an opinion.(The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote:
This Word is somewhat similar to the Maya of the Vedantists. This Itself was manifested in the form of Christ.
Of the Reading of Holy Scriptures
13. Truth, not eloquence, is to be sought for in Holy Scripture. Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
नैषा तर्कॆण मतिरापनॆया ।
नैषा तर्कॆण मतिरापनॆया ।
Swami Vivekananda's Translation: Neither is the mind to be disturbed by vain arguments, for it is no more a question of argument; it is a question of fact.
14. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
आददीत शुभां विद्यां प्रयत्नादवरादपि ।
आददीत शुभां विद्यां प्रयत्नादवरादपि ।
Swami Vivekananda's Translation: Learn supreme knowledge with service even from the man of low birth.
Of Inordinate Affections
15. Whensoever a man desireth anything inordinately, he becometh presently disquieted in himself. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Bhagavad-Gita 2.67
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनु विधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनु विधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥
Swami Vivekananda's Translation: For the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses carries away his discrimination as a wind (carries away from its course) a boat on the waters.
16. The proud and covetous can never rest. The poor and humble in spirit live together in all peace.
The man that is not yet perfectly dead to himself, is quickly tempted and overcome in small and trifling things. (The Imitation of Christ V.1.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Bhagavad-Gita 2.62-63
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः संगस्तेषूपजायते ।
संगात्संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः संगस्तेषूपजायते ।
संगात्संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
Publisher's Translation: By thinking about sense objects, attachment to them is formed. From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination; and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
17. There is then no peace in the heart of a carnal man, nor in him that is addicted to outward things, but in the spiritual and devout man. (The Imitation of Christ V.2.)
Swami Vivekananda's Footnote: Bhagavad-Gita 2.60
यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः ।
इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः ॥
यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः ।
इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः ॥
Publisher's Translation: The turbulent senses, O son of Kunti, violently carry away the mind of even a wise man striving after perfection.
