Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear bhAgavathAs, 
Salutations to all. Continues from where we left off.

(i)"indhriya balam" - AH 189

BG 2.60: yathathO hyapi kaunthEya puruShasya vipashcitha: |
indhriyANi pramAThIni haranthi prasabham mana: ||

O KaunthEya(Arjuna),the senses are so turbulent and powerful that 
they can lead astray the mind of a person with sound judgement. This 
shows the power of senses that can cause destruction.

NammAzhvAr says the same thing in 

"viNNuLAr perumARkku adimai seivAraiyum seRum aimpulan" - TVM 7.1.6

(ii)"mana prAdhAnyam(primary/zgreatness)" - AH 189

BG 6.34: cancalam hi mana: krShNa pramAThi balavadh DhrDam |
thasyAham nigraham manyE vAyOr iva sudhuShkaram ||

O KrShNa,the flickering/vascillating mind is certainly 
turbulent,strong and obstinate;conquering/controlling the mind is 
more difficult than controlling the wind.

NammAzhvAr says the same in "manaththai valiththu" - TVM 5.1.4

(iii)"karaNa niyamanam" - AH 189

BG 2.61: thAni sarvANi samyamya yuktha AsItha mathpara: |
vashE hi yasyEndhriyANi thasya praj~nA prathiShTithA ||

He, who keeps all his senses under control,should meditate on Me;in 
such person,whose senses are brought under control,the perfect 
knowledge is established.

NammAzhvAr says the same thing in

"uLLam urai seyal uLLa immUnRaiyum
uLLik keduththu"

AzhvAr EmperumAnAr Jeeyar TiruvadigaLE saraNam
