yatataḥ

यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः

yatataḥ — while practicing self-control

Even for a person of discernment who is trying, son of Kunti, the restless senses carry the mind away by force.

असंयतात्मना योगो दुष्प्राप इति मे मतिः

yatatā — one who strives

For one whose mind is unbridled, yoga is hard to reach — this is my view. But for one who is self-governed and striving, it can be attained by the right means.

तत्र तं बुद्धिसंयोगं लभते पौर्वदेहिकम्

yatate — strives

There the understanding gained in the former body returns, and from there one strives again for perfection, son of Kuru.

मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्िचद्यतति सिद्धये

yatati — strives

Among thousands, one strives for perfection; and among those who strive and reach it, one perhaps knows me as I am.
