कृता च कलुषा बुद्धिर् उपधाभिश् चतुर्विधा । न अगत्वा अन्तं निवर्तेत स्थिता सत्त्ववतां धृतौ ॥

the mind of the valiant, though naturally kept steadfast, may not, when once vitiated and repelled under the four kinds of allurements, return to and recover its original form.

english translation

kRtA ca kaluSA buddhir upadhAbhiz caturvidhA । na agatvA antaM nivarteta sthitA sattvavatAM dhRtau ॥
