It describes the two main wheels of valor and fortitude that allow one to continue moving forward on their path despite obstacles. It then discusses various parts of the chariot like the flag that represents truthfulness and good character, the horses that represent strength and ability to reach goals with discrimination and concern for others, and the reins that represent forgiveness, compassion, and equanimity to control the senses and stay focused. Finally, it likens weapons, arrows, and armor to virtues like charity, contentment, intelligence, and having a guru or teacher to guide one.
