अवष्टब्धमनोनाभिमोहचक्रं न गच्छति ।
यथा रज्ज्वां निरुद्धायां कीलकं रज्जुवेष्टितम् ॥ ८ ॥

avaṣṭabdhamanonābhimohacakraṃ na gacchati |
yathā rajjvāṃ niruddhāyāṃ kīlakaṃ rajjuveṣṭitam || 8 ||

Again the mind is the nave of the wheel of ignorance; and if you can stop its motion, by binding it fast by the rope of your good sense; you escape the danger of falling into the vortiginous rotation of errors.
