परित्यजामि काम त्वां हित्वा सर्वमनोगतीः । न त्वं मया पुनः काम नस्योतेनेव रंस्यसे ॥
parityajāmi kāma tvāṃ hitvā sarvamanogatīḥ | na tvaṃ mayā punaḥ kāma nasyoteneva raṃsyase ||
I give you up, Desire, and leave behind all the mind's wanderings. You will never again play with me, Desire, like an ox led by a rope through its nose.
हे काम, मन की सारी भटकनों को छोड़कर मैं तुझे त्यागता हूँ। हे काम, तू अब मुझसे नकेल डाले बैल की तरह खेल नहीं सकेगा।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
A craving can lead us around like a bull with a nose-ring. Letting go of the mind's restless running is what removes the rope.
लालसा हमें नकेल वाले बैल की तरह घुमा सकती है। मन की बेचैन दौड़ को छोड़ना ही वह नकेल हटाता है।
In the story Bhishma tells (12.171), Mankin speaks to himself and to Desire after losing his last wealth: he renounces Desire and the mind's wanderings; it will no longer lead him like an ox by a nose-rope.
