2.2.1
“Kathañca, māṇava, bhikkhu indriyesu guttadvāro hoti?
“And how, student, does a mendicant guard the sense doors?
2.2.2
Idha, māṇava, bhikkhu cakkhunā rūpaṃ disvā na nimittaggāhī hoti nānubyañjanaggāhī;
When a mendicant sees a sight with their eyes, they don’t get caught up in the features and details.
2.2.3
yatvādhikaraṇamenaṃ cakkhundriyaṃ asaṃvutaṃ viharantaṃ abhijjhādomanassā pāpakā akusalā dhammā anvāssaveyyuṃ; tassa saṃvarāya paṭipajjati, rakkhati cakkhundriyaṃ, cakkhundriye saṃvaraṃ āpajjati.
If the faculty of sight were left unrestrained, bad unskillful qualities of covetousness and displeasure would become overwhelming. For this reason, they practice restraint, protecting the faculty of sight, and achieving its restraint.

Sotena saddaṃ sutvā …pe…
When they hear a sound with their ears …

jivhāya rasaṃ sāyitvā …
When they taste a flavor with their tongue …

kāyena phoṭṭhabbaṃ phusitvā …
When they feel a touch with their body …
2.2.8
manasā dhammaṃ viññāya na nimittaggāhī hoti nānubyañjanaggāhī;
When they know an idea with their mind, they don’t get caught up in the features and details.
2.2.9
yatvādhikaraṇamenaṃ manindriyaṃ asaṃvutaṃ viharantaṃ abhijjhādomanassā pāpakā akusalā dhammā anvāssaveyyuṃ; tassa saṃvarāya paṭipajjati, rakkhati manindriyaṃ, manindriye saṃvaraṃ āpajjati.
If the faculty of mind were left unrestrained, bad unskillful qualities of covetousness and displeasure would become overwhelming. For this reason, they practice restraint, protecting the faculty of mind, and achieving its restraint.
2.2.10
So iminā ariyena indriyasaṃvarena samannāgato ajjhattaṃ abyāsekasukhaṃ paṭisaṃvedeti.
When they have this noble sense restraint, they experience an unsullied bliss inside themselves.

Evaṃ kho, māṇava, bhikkhu indriyesu guttadvāro hoti.
That’s how a mendicant guards the sense doors.
