आपदां कथितः पन्था इन्द्रियाणामसंयमः ।
तज्जयः सम्पदां मार्गो येनेष्टं तेन गम्यताम् ॥
āpadāṁ kathitaḥ panthā indriyāṇām asaṁyamaḥ |
taj-jayaḥ sampadāṁ mārgo yeneṣṭaṁ tena gamyatām ||
(Mahāsubhāṣita-saṅgraha)
“Lack of control over the senses is said to be the path to misfortune. Conquering the senses is [said to be] the path to good fortune. Go by that [path] which is so desired.”
Commentary
The final pada of this verse (yeneṣṭaṁ tena gamyatām) is cited in the Caitanya-mata-mañjuṣā on Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 2.2.32 to allude to the two paths of mukti described in this portion Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: that of immediate liberation and that of gradual liberation.
