Control over sense organs. Suppression of sense organs. Conqueror of senses.
दमः means supperssion of sense organs. There are five sense organs - ears (hearing organ), skin (touch organ), eyes (seeing organs), tongue (taste organ) and nose (smell organ). They are entry point of human body. Words, touch, beauty, taste and smell enter our body through these five entry points. The human being gets entangled in different desires and become sad. So one who conquerors these five sense organs by controlling his desires and leads himself to the path of spirituality is called conqueror of sense जितेन्द्रियः.
