Explicación
After the long portrait, Krishna reduces the demonic nature to three roots: desire (kāma), anger (krodha) and greed (lobha). These form a threefold gate to hell that destroys the self. The conclusion is practical and simple: give up these three. Earlier in the dialogue Krishna named desire and anger as the enemy that clouds understanding. Here greed is added, and the whole complex is presented as something a person can recognise and abandon.
