Manu 2.96

न तथा-एतानि शक्यन्ते) संनियन्तुम् असेवया । विषयेषु प्रजुष्टानि यथा ज्ञानेन नित्यशः ॥

na tathā-etāni śakyante) saṃniyantum asevayā | viṣayeṣu prajuṣṭāni yathā jñānena nityaśaḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Those (organs) which are strongly attached to sensual pleasures, cannot so effectually be restrained by abstinence (from enjoyments) as by a constant (pursuit of true) knowledge.

Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
