तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ नियम्य भरतर्षभ । पाप्मानं प्रजहिह्येनं ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम्॥६-२५-४१॥

Therefore, O best of the Bharatas, first restrain the senses and cast away this evil that destroys knowledge and realized understanding.

english translation

इन्द्रियाणि पराण्याहुरिन्द्रियेभ्यः परं मनः । मनसस्तु परा बुद्धिर्यो बुद्धेः परतस्तु सः॥६-२५-४२॥

They say the senses are superior (to the body); superior to the senses is the mind; superior to the mind is the intellect; and superior to the intellect is That—the Self.

english translation

एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना । जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम्॥६-२५-४३॥

Thus, understanding That which is higher than the intellect, and steadying the self by the Self, overcome the adversary—hard to subdue—appearing in the form of desire, O mighty-armed one.
