Bhagavad Gita Chapter 16 Verse 21 भगवद् गीता अध्याय 16 श्लोक 21 त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मनः। कामः क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत्।।16.21।। English Translation - Swami Gambirananda 16.21 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. English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary 16.21 Those three which constitute the gateway of this hell in the shape of demoniac nature, and are destructive of the self (Atman) - are known as desire, wrath and greed. The nature of these has already been explained. Gateway (Dvara) means the path, the cause. Therefore, one should renounce these three. Therefore, since they constitute the cause of the extremely dreadful Naraka, one should wholly renounce this triad - desire, wrath and greed.
