Translation

Wheresoever wanders the mind inconstant, stirring,
From there restrained, [it] should be brought under control.

Translation

Wheresoever this restless and unsteady mind wanders away, one should (gently) bring it back to the reflection of the Supreme.

Translation

From whatever and wherever the mind wanders due to its flickering and unsteady nature, one must certainly withdraw it and bring it back under the control of the Self.
