भावार्थ:

इन्द्रियाँ, मन और बुद्धि- ये सब इसके वासस्थान कहे जाते हैं। यह काम इन मन, बुद्धि और इन्द्रियों द्वारा ही ज्ञान को आच्छादित करके जीवात्मा को मोहित करता है। ॥40॥

Translation

The senses, mind, and intellect are said to be breeding grounds of desire. Through them, it clouds one’s knowledge and deludes the embodied soul.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
