श्रीराम उवाच ।
एवं मनःपरिक्षये सकलसुखदुःखानामन्तः प्राप्यत इति भवता प्रोक्तं तत्कथं महात्मंश्चपलवृत्तिरूपस्यास्य मनसोऽसत्ता भवति ॥ १० ॥

evaṃ manaḥparikṣaye sakalasukhaduḥkhānāmantaḥ prāpyata iti bhavatā proktaṃ tatkathaṃ mahātmaṃścapalavṛttirūpasyāsya manaso'sattā bhavati || 10 ||

Rama said:—You said sir, that it is by weakening the desires of our mind, that we can put an end to our pleasures and pains; but tell me now, how is it possible to stop the course of our naturally fickle minds.
