5.1.17
bhayaṃ pramattasya vaneṣv api syād yataḥ sa āste saha-ṣaṭ-sapatnaḥ /
jitendriyasyātma-rater budhasya gṛhāśramaḥ kiṃ nu karoty avadyam //
17. There might be fear (of falling into Samsara) for one who, having escaped to the forest from the house, still continues to be careless, *i. e.*, who has no control over his senses and mind; for he is even there beset by the six enemies (of passions). On the other hand what harm could the householder's life do to the wise man who has subdued his senses and finds delight in Atman?
