Sanskrit Text

नाकृतात्मा कृतात्मानं जातु विद्याज्जनार्दनम् आत्मनस्तु क्रियोपायो नान्यत्रेन्द्रियनिग्रहात्

English Translation

Sanjaya said A man who has not his soul under control cannot know Janardana, who has his soul under control. The performance of sacrifices and other ceremonies, without being accompanied by a control of the senses, is not the proper way to go by for a man.
