JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada opens his purport thus; The enemy has captured different strategic positions in the body of the conditioned soul, and therefore Lord Krsna is giving hints of those places, so that one who wants to conquer the enemy may know where he can be found. He continues with a detailed explanation of these hiding places.
