16.22. O son of   Kunti !  A man, who has deserted these three gates of darkness, does what is good for his Self and thery reaches the highest goal.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
16.21-22 Trividham etc. Etaih etc.  Because the traid of desire etc.,  constitute the gate to the hell, therefore one should avoid that.					
 What has been stated should not be neglected on the assumption that it is  [based on]  the human word.  On the other hand, there is the authority of the eternal scripture on this subject.  This is said [here] –
