Word by word
Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
By its means, the straying intellect becomes steadied in contemplating one object only; whereas the minds of the irresolute stray into innumerable bypaths.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
Here, O joy of the Kurus, there is only one single-pointed determination; many-branched and endless are the thoughts of the indecisive.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
