Translation
Which, like a skilful charioteer his speedy horses, leads and controls men as if holding them by the reins; which is well placed within the heart; which is free from decay, and is the speediest of all, may that mind of mine be always guided by the best of intentions. (1)
Note
Suṣārathiḥ aśvan iva, just a good chariot-driver (drives) his horses. Neniyate, leads or guides (them); controls and guides, नयति नियच्छति च । Abhişubhiḥ, with the reins. Vajinaḥ, वेगवत:, speedy; fast running. Hrtpratistham, placed in the heart. Heart and mind are two different conceptions: Heart is concerned with emotions and mind with reasoning. A good person keeps his mind under the control of heart. Ajiram, जरारहितं, free from decay; never-old. Sense-or gans are subject to decay, but the mind is not so. Javiştham, speediest of all; nothing exceeds it in speed.
