Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
इसलिए हे महाबाहो! जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ सर्वथा इन्द्रिय-विषयों से निगृहीत (संयमित) हैं, उसकी प्रज्ञा स्थिर है।
English Translation
Therefore, O mighty-armed, the wisdom of that person is firmly established whose senses are completely restrained from their objects.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna summarizes: complete sensory mastery equals established wisdom. The word 'sarvashah' (completely, from all sides) emphasizes thoroughness — partial control is not enough. However, this restraint should be understood in the context of verse 64, where engagement with sense objects while free from attachment is the true goal.
