Transliteration
indriyāṇi parāṇyāhurindriyebhyaḥ paraṃ manaḥ| manasastu parā buddhiryo buddheḥ paratastu saḥ||3.42||
Meaning (English)
3.42 The senses are called the important obstacles of knowledge, because when the senses keep operating on their objects, the knowledge of the self cannot arise. 'The mind is higher than the senses': even if the senses are withdrawn, if the Manas (mind) ruminates over sense objects, knowledge of the self cannot be had. 'The intellect (Buddhi) is greater than the mind', i.e., even if the mind is indifferent to sense objects, a perverted decision by the intellect can obstruct the dawn of the know
