Cette porte de l'enfer, destructrice de l'ātman, est de trois sortes : la passion (kāma), la colère (krodha) et aussi l'avidité (lobha). C'est pourquoi on doit abandonner ces trois-là.
This door of hell, which is the destroyer of the soul, is of three kinds-passion, anger and also greed. Therefore one should forsake these three.
La passion, la colère et l'avidité sont les trois portes qui mènent à la souffrance et à la destruction spirituelle. Elles obscurcissent le discernement, poussent à des actions néfastes et empêchent l'être d'atteindre la paix et la connaissance de l'ātman. Il est impératif de s'en libérer pour progresser sur le chemin spirituel.
