Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 40 भगवद् गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 40 इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धिरस्याधिष्ठानमुच्यते। एतैर्विमोहयत्येष ज्ञानमावृत्य देहिनम्।।3.40।। हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 3.40) ।।3.40।।इन्द्रियाँ मन और बुद्धि इस कामके वासस्थान कहे गये हैं। यह काम इन(इन्द्रियाँ मन और बुद्धि) के द्वारा ज्ञानको ढककर देहाभिमानी मनुष्यको मोहित करता है। Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary By revealing the locations of where kama or lust is stationed Lord Krishna is indicating the means to defeat kama. As desire arises from contact with sense objects by seeing, hearing, touching etc. the mind is agitated and a determined effort to enjoy arises and lust manifests itself from within the mind completely overpowering the intellect and the discriminatory faculties and a person is controlled and deluded, forced to be a slave of their sense.. Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary Now the locations where the enemy kama or lust is given by Lord Krishna. The senses becoming excited agitates the mind and the mind becoming excited envelopes the intellect with this kama.. Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary The senses, the mind and the intellect which controls the discriminatory faculty, is where kama or lust covertly resides and exercises its dominion over the atma or soul. Through kama the senses, the mind and the intellect become addicted to craving for sense objects. Kama seizes hold of the embodied beings and beguiles them by clouding the intellect and then kama covers and envelopes the atma or soul of that being in many ways and who subsequently becomes kamas slave doing anything to gratify its senses and is plunged into the prison garden of sense objects. This is what Lord Krishna is stating here.
