नोचेत्प्रमत्तमसदिन्द्रियवाजिसूता नीत्वोत्पथं विषयदस्युषु निक्षिपन्ति । ते दस्यव: सहयसूतममुं तमोऽन्धे संसारकूप उरुमृत्युभये क्षिपन्ति ॥ ४६ ॥

Transliteration

nocet pramattam asad-indriya-vāji-sūtā nītvotpathaṁ viṣaya-dasyuṣu nikṣipanti te dasyavaḥ sahaya-sūtam amuṁ tamo ’ndhe saṁsāra-kūpa uru-mṛtyu-bhaye kṣipanti
Synonyms
nocet — if we do not follow the instructions of Acyuta, Kṛṣṇa, and do not take shelter of Balarāma; pramattam — careless, inattentive; asat — which are always prone to material consciousness; indriya — the senses; vāji — acting as the horses; sūtāḥ — the chariot driver (intelligence); nītvā — bringing; utpatham — to the roadway of material desire; viṣaya — the sense objects; dasyuṣu — in the hands of the plunderers; nikṣipanti — throw; te — those; dasyavaḥ — plunderers; sa — with; haya-sūtam — the horses and chariot driver; amum — all of them; tamaḥ — dark; andhe — blind; saṁsāra-kūpe — into the well of material existence; uru — great; mṛtyu-bhaye — fear of death; kṣipanti — throw.

Translation

Otherwise, if one does not take shelter of Acyuta and Baladeva, then the senses, acting as the horses, and the intelligence, acting as the driver, both being prone to material contamination, inattentively bring the body, which acts as the chariot, to the path of sense gratification. When one is thus attracted again by the rogues of viṣaya — eating, sleeping and mating — the horses and chariot driver are thrown into the blinding dark well of material existence, and one is again put into a dangerous and extremely fearful situation of repeated birth and death.
