“With the cattle of the senses tied in a row, with a courtyard where craving prances, packed with the servantry of thoughts — this body-house is not dear to me.”

The image of the house is unfolded into a detailed homestead, and every part is in place.
The senses are cattle, tied in a row at the trough. The precision is in the word paṅkti-baddha, “bound in rows”: the senses are not free, they are tethered — and yet it is they that feed the household.
Craving careers about the yard — valgat means “prances, kicks”, like an unbroken horse.
The thoughts are servantry, and there are too many of them: ākīrṇa, “packed full”. Each is doing something, each demands orders.
And the master amid all this is that very selfhood from the previous verse.
The verse is worth remembering as a picture of the ordinary human condition: not a prison, not a torture, but precisely a noisy homestead where no one is master by right and everyone is busy.
