तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ नियम्य भरतर्षभ। पाप्मानं प्रजहि ह्येनं ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम्॥
tasmat tvam indriyany adau niyamya bharatarshabha papmanam prajahi hy enam jnana-vijnana-nashanam
Translation
Therefore, O Arjuna, first controlling the senses, slay this sinful enemy — the destroyer of knowledge and wisdom.
Commentary
Krishna gives the battle plan: start with the senses. Control sensory input to weaken desire. Then the mind and intellect can also be purified. The enemy (desire) must be attacked at its outermost fortress first.
