Word by word
Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
As a ship at sea is tossed by the tempest, so the reason is carried away by the mind when preyed upon by straying senses.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
For the mind, which follows in the wake of the wandering senses, carries away his discrimination, as the wind carries away a boat on the waters.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
