Casting off all the desires born of resolve, the desires of which resolve is the source, casting them all off without remainder, leaving no trace; and restraining, with the mind alone, the mind joined with discernment, the host of senses, the whole body of senses, on every side, from all directions.

Desires are of two kinds, those born of contact and those born of resolve: born of contact are cold, heat, and the like; born of resolve are sons, grandsons, fields, and the like. Of these, those that spring from resolve can, by their very nature, be given up; giving up all of them with the mind alone, by the dwelling on their non-connection with the self; and giving up, in the contact-born desires that cannot be avoided, the gladness and agitation caused by them; restraining wholly, from every object on every side, the whole troop of the senses; little by little, with the understanding held by constancy and directed at discernment, drawing back from all that is other than the self, and making the mind abide in the self, he should think of nothing whatever.

This is a brief sub-gloss. For a fuller reading of this verse, see Madhusūdana, Śaṅkara, or Rāmānuja above.

'All' means all the objects, without remainder. The sense is that not even a desire for a single object, slight and occasional though it be, is to be entertained. The word 'alone' shows that they can be governed only by the mind, and by nothing else.
