In plain words
The wise clearly describe the gateways to the splendour of brahman—though they demand difficult and demanding discipline. What are they? Truth and uprightness: truth being speech that accords with reality and serves the welfare of all beings, and uprightness being a complete absence of deceit. Modesty is the natural shame that holds one back from forbidden acts. Then come restraint, purity, and wisdom. Restraint is the withdrawal of the inner instrument, though some call it the withdrawal of the senses. Purity is the washing away of inner stains. Wisdom is the direct knowledge of brahman. These six stand as the barriers against pride and delusion.
Close to the Sanskrit
The doors, the gateways to the entry of brahman's glory, the wise properly declare as manifold difficult paths and painful disciplines. Which ones are they? Truth and uprightness, where truth is speaking according to reality and for the welfare of beings; and uprightness is absence of crookedness. Modesty is shame in doing forbidden acts. Restraint and purity and knowledge: restraint is the withdrawal of the inner organ; some say it is the withdrawal of the external organs. Purity is the washing away of impurities. Knowledge is the knowledge of brahman. These six are the inhibitors of pride and delusion.
