इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धिरस्याधिष्ठानमुच्यते। एतैर्विमोहयत्येष ज्ञानमावृत्य देहिनम्॥
indriyani mano buddhir asyadhishthanam uchyate etair vimohayaty esha jnanam avritya dehinam
Translation
The senses, the mind, and the intellect are said to be its seat. Through these, desire deludes the embodied soul by veiling its wisdom.
Commentary
Desire operates through three channels: senses, mind, and intellect. To overcome it, one must address all three levels — controlling the senses, purifying the mind, and sharpening the intellect.
