।।2.61।।जब कि यह बात है इसलिये

उन सब इन्द्रियोंको रोककर यानी वशमें करके और युक्त समाहितचित्त हो मेरे परायण होकर बैठना चाहिये। अर्थात् सबका अन्तरात्मारूप मैं वासुदेव ही जिसका सबसे पर हूँ वह मत्पर है अर्थात् मैं उस परमात्मासे भिन्न नहीं हूँ। इस प्रकार मुझसे अपनेको अभिन्न माननेवाला होकर बैठना चाहिये।
क्योंकि इस प्रकार बैठनेवाले जिस यतिकी इन्द्रियाँ अभ्यासबलसे ( उसके ) वशमें है उसकी प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठित है।

तानि सर्वाणि संयम्य संयमनं वशीकरणं कृत्वा युक्तः समाहितः सन् आसीत मत्परः अहं वासुदेवः सर्वप्रत्यगात्मा परो यस्य सः मत्परः न अन्योऽहं तस्मात् इति आसीत इत्यर्थः। एवमासीनस्य यतेः वशे हि यस्य इन्द्रियाणि वर्तन्ते अभ्यासबलात् तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता।।

English Translation By Swami Adidevananda

2.61 Having controlled all the senses, let him remain in contemplation, regarding Me as supreme; for, his knowledge is firmly set whose senses are under control.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

2.61 Samyamya, controlling, having subdued; sarvani, all; tani, of them; asita, one should remain; yuktah, concentrated; mat-parah, on Me as the supreme he to whom I, Vasudeva, the inmost Self of all, am the supreme (parah) is mat-parah. The idea is, he should remain (concentrated) thinking, 'I am not different from Him.' Hi, for; the prajna, wisdom; tasya, of one, of the sannyasin remaining thus concentrated; yasya, whose; indriyani, organs; are vase, under control, by dint of practice; [The organs come under control either by constantly thinking of oneself as non-different from the Self, or by constantly being mindful of the evils that result from objects.] pratisthita, becomes steadfast. Now, then, is being stated this [This:what is described in the following two verses, and is also a matter of common experience.] root, cause of all the evils that beset one who is the verge of being overwhelmed:

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

2.61 With a desire to overcome this mutual dependence between the subduing of the senses and vision of the self, one has to coner the senses which are difficult to subdue on account of their attachment to sense-objects. So, focussing the mind on Me who am the only auspicious object for meditation, let him remain steadfast. When the mind is focussed on Me as its object, then such a mind, purified by the burning away of all impurities and devoid of attachment to the senses, is able to control the senses. Then the mind with the senses under control will be able to experience the self. As said in Visnu Purana, 'As the leaping fire fanned by the wind burns away a forest of dry trees, so Visnu, who is in the hearts of all the Yogins, destroys all the sins.' Sri Krsna teaches the same here: 'He whose senses are under control, his knowledge is firmly set.' Sri Krsna says: 'One who endeavours to subdue the senses, depending on one's own exertions, and does not focus the mind on Me in this way, becomes lost.'
