मनोयन्त्रस्य चलने कारणं वेदनं विदुः ।
प्रणालीदारुमेषस्य रज्जुरन्तर्गता यथा ॥ २७ ॥

manoyantrasya calane kāraṇaṃ vedanaṃ viduḥ |
praṇālīdārumeṣasya rajjurantargatā yathā || 27 ||

It is sensuousness which is reckoned as the cause that puts the machinery of the mind to work, just as the rope tied to the log and fastened about the neck of a ram, propels him to fighting.
