English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
16.22 O son of Kunti, narah, a person; who is vimuktah, free; etaih, from these; tribhih, three; tamo-dvaraih, doors to darkness, i.e., passion etc. which are doors to the darkness of hell consisting of sorrow and delusion; freed from three three which are such, acarati, strives for;-for what?-sreyah, the good; atmanah, of the soul: darred by which (doors) he could not strive earlier, and on the dispelling of which he strives. Tatah, thery, as a result of that striving; yati, he attains; the param, suprme; gatim, Goal, i.e. Liberation, as well. [Not only does he attain Liberation by renouncing the demoniacal alities, but he also secures happiness in this world.]

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] –


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
16.22 One who has been released from these three - from desire, wrath and greed which constitute the gates of darkness causing erroneous knowledge of Myself -, he works for the good of the self. Gaining knowledge of Myself, he endevaours to be inclined towards Me. From there, he attains the supreme goal, which is Myself.

Sri Krsna now teaches that the main cause of this Kind of degeneration is lack of reverence for the Sastras:
