In plain words
Kāma, desire, first stirs in the discerning intellect and fills the mind with objects for the senses to grasp. If the object is missed, Krodha flares as anger; if it is gained, Lobha tightens into the need to keep it. Desire, anger and greed form the triad behind every fall. A wise person relinquishes them through Adhyātma-yoga, the inward discipline.
Close to the Sanskrit
Kāma—desire—first rises in Buddhi, the intellect, and directs Manas, the mind, toward a host of objects. The senses seize them; when they are not attained, Krodha or anger appears. When an object is attained, the urge to preserve it rises as Lobha, greed. This triad causes the fall of all; therefore the discerning person should abandon it through Adhyātma-yoga, inward yoga.
