Freed from these, O son of Kuntī, from these gates of darkness, the gates of darkness being the gates of the hell that is of the nature of pain and delusion, desire and the rest, freed from these three, a man practises, carries out, what is good for the self; whatever, held back before, he did not carry out, he carries out on their departure; and from that carrying-out he goes to the supreme course, even to liberation. Scripture is the cause of all this avoidance of the asuric endowment and carrying-out of the good; by the authority of scripture both can be done, not otherwise. So.

Freed of these, of desire, anger, and greed, the doors of darkness, the causes of knowledge contrary to Me, a man carries out the good of the self. Having gained knowledge whose object is Me, he engages in conformity to Me; then he goes to Me alone, the supreme goal. The Lord says that disregard of scripture is the chief cause of this hell.
