O Krsna! The mind is indeed unsteady, destructive, strong, and obstinate; I believe it is very difficult to control it, just as it is to control the wind.
My Lord! Verily, the mind is fickle and turbulent, obstinate and strong, yea extremely difficult as the wind to control.
For the mind is fickle, O Krsna, impetuous, powerful and stubborn. I think that restraint of it is as difficult as that of the wind.
For, O Krsna, the mind is unsteady, turbulent, strong and obstinate. I consider its control to be as greatly difficult as of the wind.

Arjuna said, "O slayer of Mandhu, this Yoga of equanimity which You have spoken of, I do not find a proper foundation for it due to the unsteadiness of the mind."
Arjuna said: I do not see how I can attain this state of equanimity which Thou has revealed, owing to the restlessness of my mind.
Arjuna said This Yoga of equality, which has been declared by You, O Krsna, I do not see that it can be steady because of the fickleness of the mind.
Arjuna said O Madhusudana (Krsna), this Yoga that has been spoken of by You as sameness, I do not see its steady continuance, owing to the restlessness (of the mind).
This Yoga of equanimity taught by Thee, O Krishna, I do not see its steady continuance, because of restlessness (of the mind)!
