त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मनः | कामः क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत्
trividhaṃ narakasyedaṃ dvāraṃ nāśanamātmanaḥ . kāmaḥ krodhastathā lobhastasmādetattrayaṃ tyajet
此地獄之門有三種，乃是毀滅靈魂者：貪欲、瞋恚以及貪婪。因此，人應當捨棄這三者。
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.
貪欲、瞋恚和貪婪——這些如同攔路強盜，會使人墮入地獄的黑暗深淵、苦難或悲傷之中。它們是苦難的三大源頭，構成通往最底層地獄的門戶。它們是和平、虔誠和知識的敵人。當這些邪惡的心念生起時，人便失去平衡、沉著和辨別力，從而犯下種種惡行。貪欲、瞋恚和貪婪代表著自我的盲目和無知，因為在梵（Brahman）或純粹不朽的自性（Self）中，並無習氣（Vasanas）、欲求、瞋恚或貪婪。地獄之門（Narakasya dvaram）是指通往地獄的門。僅僅踏入此門，自我就會被毀滅，即是說，它已不適合為達到生命目標而做出任何正確的努力。由於此門導致自我毀滅，願每個人都捨棄這三者。在下一節中，捨棄這三種惡行的人將受到高度讚揚。
Lust? anger and greed? -- these highway robbers will cause a man to fall into the dark abyss of hell? misery or grief. These are the three fountainheads of misery. These three constitute the gateway leading to the lowest of hells. These are the enemies of peace? devotion and knowledge. When these evil modifications of the mind arise in it? man loses his balance or poise and discrimination and commits various evil actions.Lust? anger and greed denote selfblindness and ignorance? for there are no Vasanas? wants? anger? or greed in Brahman or the pure immortal Self.Narakasya dvaram The gate to hell The gate leading to hell. The self is destroyed by merely entering at the gate? i.e.? it is not fit to do any right exertion to attain the goal of life.As this gate causes selfdestruction? let everyone renounce these three. (Cf.III.47)In the next verse the man who has abandoned these three evils is highyl eulogised.
