Absence of discrepancy (avipratipatti) in the perception of sound, touch, colour, flavour, and scent by means of the ear, the skin, the eyes, the tongue, and the nose, is what is meant by the restraint of the organs of sense. Strict observance of the precepts of sciences also means the same.

कृत्स्नं हि शास्त्रम् इदम् इन्द्रिय जयः ॥
For the sole aim of all the sciences is nothing but restraint of the organs of sense.
