buddhiṃ nistimitāṃ kṛtvā tat tattvam avaśiṣyate
The line
In the range of desire, anger, greed, bewilderment, intoxication, and envy, having made the intellect unmoving, that reality remains.
नेपालीमा
काम, क्रोध, लोभ, मोह, मद र मात्सर्यको गोचरमा बुद्धिलाई निस्तरङ्ग बनाएपछि त्यो तत्त्व रहन्छ।
Where it sits
The six are the field, not an enemy the verse tells one to drive out. The intellect is made unmoving in their range, and reality is what remains.
