TRANSLATION There are
three gates leading to this hell--lust, anger and greed. Every sane man
should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul.
PURPORT The beginning
of demoniac life is described herein. One tries to satisfy his lust, and
when he cannot, anger and greed arise. A sane man who does not want to
glide down to the species of demoniac life must try to give up these three
enemies which can kill the self to such an extent that there will be no
possibility of liberation from this material entanglement.
