Verse 7.26.12

तव नावहितं चित्तं कामः कवलयिष्यति ।
सावधानस्य बुद्धस्य पिशाचः किं करिष्यति ॥ १२ ॥

tava nāvahitaṃ cittaṃ kāmaḥ kavalayiṣyati |
sāvadhānasya buddhasya piśācaḥ kiṃ kariṣyati || 12 ||

The negligent soul becomes a prey to concupiscence and unruly passions, as the heedless passenger is caught in the clutches of demons;but the well-guarded spirit is free from their fright.
