Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Krishna Consciousness. The threefold miseries are (1) those miseries which arise from the mind and body, (2) those miseries inflicted by other living beings, and (3) those miseries arising from natural catastrophes over which one has no control.

Detailed explanation-2: -External Energy-Krishna’s external energy consists of all that is matter: the material world, the laws of material nature, material bodies, and so on. The external energy is temporary and full of ignorance and suffering.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three kinds of miserable conditions-adhyātmika, adhibhautika and adhidaivika (miseries inflicted by the body and mind itself, those inflicted by other living entities, and natural disturbances)-were all absent during the reign of Lord Rāmacandra or Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira.

Detailed explanation-4: -In conformity to that spiritual process, Sanatana has already asked, “What am l, and why am I suffering from the threefold miseries?” The threefold miseries are called adhyatmika, adhibhautika, and adhidaivika. The word adhyatmika refers to those miseries caused by the mind and body.
