Bhagavad Gita 3.41

Karma Yoga

तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ नियम्य भरतर्षभ | पाप्मानं प्रजहि ह्येनं ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम् ||

tasmāt tvam indriyāṇyādau niyamya bharatarṣhabha pāpmānaṁ prajahi hyenaṁ jñāna-vijñāna-nāśhanam

English

Therefore, O best of the Bharatas, in the very beginning curb this great symbol of sin (lust) by regulating the senses, and slay this destroyer of knowledge and realization.

हिन्दी

हे भरतश्रेष्ठ! इसलिए तू सबसे पहले इन्द्रियों को वश में करके इस ज्ञान और विज्ञान का नाश करने वाले पापमय (काम) को मार डाल।
