2.60. For, the turbulent sense-organs do carry away by force,  the mind even of this person of discerning,  O son of Kunti !


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.60 Yattasyapi etc.  For, the mind of that ascetic too is carried away by the sense-organs.  Or, the expression yattasya api denotes  even of one who exerts.  [So], it is but the mind that is to be subdued by a man of Yoga.  Thus the second [estion] is decided.
