Madhvacharya's Dvaita Vedanta and translation of Sarvamoola containing Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Brahmasutra.

Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

यतो यतो निश्चरति मनश्चञ्चलमस्थिरम्। ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत् ॥२६॥

yato yato niścarati manaścañcalamasthiram। tatastato niyamyaitadātmanyeva vaśaṁ nayet ॥26॥

Wherever, wherever the restless and unsteady mind wanders, from there and there, restraining it, one should bring it back on to the topic of 'ātman', the Lord, only.

'yato yato' - wherever, wherever. 'ātmanyeva vaśaṁ nayet' - one should control and have it on the subject of 'ātman', the lord, alone.

The expression 'yato yato' means "wherever, wherever", similar to the usage 'wherever he runs'. 'ātmanyeva vaśaṁ nayet' means one should control and have it on the subject of 'ātman', the lord, only.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
