indriyāṇi — the senses; mano = manaḥ — the mind; buddhir = buddhiḥ — the intelligence; asyādhiṣṭhānam = asya — if this + adhiṣṭhānam — warehouse; ucyate — it is authoritatively stated; etair = etaiḥ — with these; vimohayatyeṣa = vimohayaty (vimohayati) — confuses + eṣa — this; jñānam — insight; āvṛtya — is shrouded; dehinam — embodied soul

It is authoritatively stated that the senses, the mind and the intelligence are the combined warehouse of the passionate enemy. By these faculties, the lusty power confuses the embodied soul, shrouding his insight. (3.40)

तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ

नियम्य भरतर्षभ ।

पाप्मानं प्रजहिह्येनं

ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम्॥३.४१॥

tasmāttvamindriyāṇyādau

niyamya bharatarṣabha

pāpmānaṁ prajahihyenaṁ

jñānavijñānanāśanam(3.41)

tasmāt — thus; tvam — you; indriyāṇyādau = indriyāṇi — senses + ādau — initially; niyamya — regulating; bharatarṣabha — powerful man of the Bharata family; pāpmānaṁ — degrading power; prajahi — squelch, destroy; hyenaṁ= hy (hi) — certainly + enaṁ — this; jñānavijñānanāśanam = jñāna — knowledge + vijñāna — discernment + nāśanam — ruining

Thus regulating the senses initially, you should, O powerful man of the Bharata family, squelch this degrading power which ruins knowledge and discernment. (3.41)

इन्द्रियाणि पराण्याहुर्

इन्द्रियेभ्यः परं मनः ।

मनसस्तु परा बुद्धिर्

यो बुद्धेः परतस्तु सः ॥३.४२॥

indriyāṇi parāṇyāhur

indriyebhyaḥ paraṁ manaḥ

manasastu parā buddhir

yo buddheḥ paratastu saḥ (3.42)

The ancient psychologists say that the senses are energetic, but in comparison to the senses, the mind is more energetic. In contrast to the mind, the intelligence is even more sensitive. But in reference, the spirit is most elevated. (3.42)

एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा

संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना ।

जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो

कामरूपं दुरासदम् ॥३.४३॥

evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā

saṁstabhyātmānamātmanā

jahi śatruṁ mahābāho

kāmarūpaṁ durāsadam (3.43)

evaṁ — thus; buddheḥ— than the intelligence; paraṁ — higher; buddhvā — having understood; saṁstabhyātmānamātmanā = saṁstabhya — keeping together + ātmānam — the personal energies+ ātmanā — by the spirit; jahi — uproot; śatruṁ — enemy; mahābāho — O powerful man; kāmarūpaṁ — form of passionate desire; durāsadam — difficult to grasp

Thus having understood what is higher than intelligence, keeping the personal energies under control of the spirit, uproot, O powerful man, the enemy, the form of passionate desire which is difficult to grasp. (3.43)
