Verse 5.2.17

किमुक्तं स्याद्भगवता मुनिना मनसः क्षये ।
किं चेन्द्रियजये प्रोक्तं किमुक्तमथवात्मनि ॥ १७ ॥

kimuktaṃ syādbhagavatā muninā manasaḥ kṣaye |
kiṃ cendriyajaye proktaṃ kimuktamathavātmani || 17 ||

What does the muni say with regard to the means, and effect of curbing the appetites of the mind? What does he say regarding the restraining of our organs, and what about the tranquillity of the soul?
