Explicação

Krishna tells where desire lives: in the senses, the mind (manas) and the understanding (buddhi). These are its strongholds. From there it obscures knowledge and confuses the embodied self. The verse is practical, like a general describing where the enemy is entrenched. If desire works through the senses, mind and understanding, then those are the places where the struggle against it must be fought. It also shows that even the understanding, the highest of the three, can be taken over if one is not watchful.
