2 | Sānkhya Yog | 2.67 | इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते |\nतदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ||२-६७|| | indriyāṇāṃ hi caratāṃ yanmano.anuvidhīyate .\ntadasya harati prajñāṃ vāyurnāvamivāmbhasi ||2-67|| | Just as a strong wind sweeps a boat off its chartered course on the water, even one of the senses on which the mind focuses can lead the intellect astray. | 101 |
2 | Sānkhya Yog | 2.68 | तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः |\nइन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ||२-६८|| | tasmādyasya mahābāho nigṛhītāni sarvaśaḥ .\nindriyāṇīndriyārthebhyastasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā ||2-68|| | Therefore, one who has restrained the senses from their objects, O mighty armed Arjun, is firmly established in transcendental knowledge. | 102 |
2 | Sānkhya Yog | 2.69 | या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी |\nयस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः ||२-६९|| | yā niśā sarvabhūtānāṃ tasyāṃ jāgarti saṃyamī .\nyasyāṃ jāgrati bhūtāni sā niśā paśyato muneḥ ||2-69|| | What all beings consider as day is the night of ignorance for the wise, and what all creatures see as night is the day for the introspective sage. | 103 |
2 | Sānkhya Yog | 2.70 | आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं\nसमुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् |\nतद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे\nस शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ||२-७०|| | āpūryamāṇamacalapratiṣṭhaṃ samudramāpaḥ praviśanti yadvat .\ntadvatkāmā yaṃ praviśanti sarve sa śāntimāpnoti na kāmakāmī ||2-70|| | Just as the ocean remains undisturbed by the incessant flow of waters from rivers merging into it, likewise the sage who is unmoved despite the flow of desirable objects all around him attains peace, and not the person who strives to satisfy desires. | 104 |
2 | Sānkhya Yog | 2.71 | विहाय कामान्यः सर्वान्पुमांश्चरति निःस्पृहः |\nनिर्ममो निरहङ्कारः स शान्तिमधिगच्छति ||२-७१|| | vihāya kāmānyaḥ sarvānpumāṃścarati niḥspṛhaḥ .\nnirmamo nirahaṅkāraḥ sa śāntimadhigacchati ||2-71|| | That person, who gives up all material desires and lives free from a sense of greed, proprietorship, and egoism, attains perfect peace. | 105 |
2 | Sānkhya Yog | 2.72 | एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति |\nस्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ||२-७२|| | eṣā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṃ prāpya vimuhyati .\nsthitvāsyāmantakāle.api brahmanirvāṇamṛcchati ||2-72|| | O Parth, such is the state of an enlightened soul that having attained it, one is never again deluded. Being established in this consciousness even at the hour of death, one is liberated from the cycle of life and death and reaches the Supreme Abode of God. | 106 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.1 – 3.2 | अर्जुन उवाच |\nज्यायसी चेत्कर्मणस्ते मता बुद्धिर्जनार्दन |\nतत्किं कर्मणि घोरे मां नियोजयसि केशव ||३-१||\nव्यामिश्रेणेव वाक्येन बुद्धिं मोहयसीव मे |\nतदेकं वद निश्चित्य येन श्रेयोऽहमाप्नुयाम् ||३-२|| | arjuna uvāca .\njyāyasī cetkarmaṇaste matā buddhirjanārdana .\ntatkiṃ karmaṇi ghore māṃ niyojayasi keśava ||3-1||\nvyāmiśreṇeva vākyena buddhiṃ mohayasīva me .\ntadekaṃ vada niścitya yena śreyo.ahamāpnuyām ||3-2|| | Arjun said: O Janardan, if You consider knowledge superior to action, then why do You ask me to wage this terrible war? My intellect is bewildered by Your ambiguous advice. Please tell me decisively the one path by which I may attain the highest good. | 107 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.3 | श्रीभगवानुवाच |\nलोकेऽस्मिन् द्विविधा निष्ठा पुरा प्रोक्ता मयानघ |\nज्ञानयोगेन साङ्ख्यानां कर्मयोगेन योगिनाम् ||३-३|| | śrībhagavānuvāca .\nloke.asmina dvividhā niṣṭhā purā proktā mayānagha .\njñānayogena sāṅkhyānāṃ karmayogena yoginām ||3-3|| | The Lord said: O sinless one, the two paths leading to enlightenment were previously explained by Me: the path of knowledge, for those inclined toward contemplation, and the path of work for those inclined toward action. | 108 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.4 | न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते |\nन च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति ||३-४|| | na karmaṇāmanārambhānnaiṣkarmyaṃ puruṣo.aśnute .\nna ca saṃnyasanādeva siddhiṃ samadhigacchati ||3-4|| | One cannot achieve freedom from karmic reactions by merely abstaining from work, nor can one attain perfection of knowledge by mere physical renunciation. | 109 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.5 | न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् |\nकार्यते ह्यवशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः ||३-५|| | na hi kaścitkṣaṇamapi jātu tiṣṭhatyakarmakṛt .\nkāryate hyavaśaḥ karma sarvaḥ prakṛtijairguṇaiḥ ||3-5|| | There is no one who can remain without action even for a moment. Indeed, all beings are compelled to act by their qualities born of material nature (the three guṇas). | 110 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.6 | कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन् |\nइन्द्रियार्थान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचारः स उच्यते ||३-६|| | karmendriyāṇi saṃyamya ya āste manasā smaran .\nindriyārthānvimūḍhātmā mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate ||3-6|| | Those who restrain the external organs of action, while continuing to dwell on sense objects in the mind, certainly delude themselves and are to be called hypocrites. | 111 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.7 | यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन |\nकर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्मयोगमसक्तः स विशिष्यते ||३-७|| | yastvindriyāṇi manasā niyamyārabhate.arjuna .\nkarmendriyaiḥ karmayogamasaktaḥ sa viśiṣyate ||3-7|| | But those karm yogis who control their knowledge senses with the mind, O Arjun, and engage the working senses in working without attachment, are certainly superior. | 112 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.8 | नियतं कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायो ह्यकर्मणः |\nशरीरयात्रापि च ते न प्रसिद्ध्येदकर्मणः ||३-८|| | niyataṃ kuru karma tvaṃ karma jyāyo hyakarmaṇaḥ .\nśarīrayātrāpi ca te na prasiddhyedakarmaṇaḥ ||3-8|| | You should thus perform your prescribed Vedic duties, since action is superior to inaction. By ceasing activity, even your bodily maintenance will not be possible. | 113 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.9 | यज्ञार्थात्कर्मणोऽन्यत्र लोकोऽयं कर्मबन्धनः |\nतदर्थं कर्म कौन्तेय मुक्तसङ्गः समाचर ||३-९|| | yajñārthātkarmaṇo.anyatra loko.ayaṃ karmabandhanaḥ .\ntadarthaṃ karma kaunteya muktasaṅgaḥ samācara ||3-9|| | Work must be done as a yajna to the Supreme Lord; otherwise, work causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti, for the satisfaction of God, perform your prescribed duties, without being attached to the results. | 114 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.10 | सहयज्ञाः प्रजाः सृष्ट्वा पुरोवाच प्रजापतिः |\nअनेन प्रसविष्यध्वमेष वोऽस्त्विष्टकामधुक् ||३-१०|| | sahayajñāḥ prajāḥ sṛṣṭvā purovāca prajāpatiḥ .\nanena prasaviṣyadhvameṣa vo.astviṣṭakāmadhuk ||3-10|| | In the beginning of creation, Brahma created humankind along with duties, and said, “Prosper in the performance of these yajñas (sacrifices), for they shall bestow upon you all you wish to achieve.” | 115 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.11 | देवान्भावयतानेन ते देवा भावयन्तु वः |\nपरस्परं भावयन्तः श्रेयः परमवाप्स्यथ ||३-११|| | devānbhāvayatānena te devā bhāvayantu vaḥ .\nparasparaṃ bhāvayantaḥ śreyaḥ paramavāpsyatha ||3-11|| | By your sacrifices, the celestial gods will be pleased, and by cooperation between humans and the celestial gods, great prosperity will reign for all. | 116 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.12 | इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः |\nतैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः ||३-१२|| | iṣṭānbhogānhi vo devā dāsyante yajñabhāvitāḥ .\ntairdattānapradāyaibhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ ||3-12|| | The celestial gods, being satisfied by the performance of sacrifice, will grant you all the desired necessities of life. But those who enjoy what is given to them, without making offerings in return, are verily thieves. | 117 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.13 | यज्ञशिष्टाशिनः सन्तो मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषैः |\nभुञ्जते ते त्वघं पापा ये पचन्त्यात्मकारणात् ||३-१३|| | yajñaśiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarvakilbiṣaiḥ .\nbhuñjate te tvaghaṃ pāpā ye pacantyātmakāraṇāt ||3-13|| | The spiritually-minded, who eat food that is first offered in sacrifice, are released from all kinds of sin. Others, who cook food for their own enjoyment, verily eat only sin. | 118 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.14 | अन्नाद्भवन्ति भूतानि पर्जन्यादन्नसम्भवः |\nयज्ञाद्भवति पर्जन्यो यज्ञः कर्मसमुद्भवः ||३-१४|| | annādbhavanti bhūtāni parjanyādannasambhavaḥ .\nyajñādbhavati parjanyo yajñaḥ karmasamudbhavaḥ ||3-14|| | All living beings subsist on food, and food is produced by rains. Rains come from the performance of sacrifice, and sacrifice is produced by the performance of prescribed duties. | 119 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.15 | कर्म ब्रह्मोद्भवं विद्धि ब्रह्माक्षरसमुद्भवम् |\nतस्मात्सर्वगतं ब्रह्म नित्यं यज्ञे प्रतिष्ठितम् ||३-१५|| | karma brahmodbhavaṃ viddhi brahmākṣarasamudbhavam .\ntasmātsarvagataṃ brahma nityaṃ yajñe pratiṣṭhitam ||3-15|| | The duties for human beings are described in the Vedas, and the Vedas are manifested by God Himself. Therefore, the all-pervading Lord is eternally present in acts of sacrifice. | 120 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.16 | एवं प्रवर्तितं चक्रं नानुवर्तयतीह यः |\nअघायुरिन्द्रियारामो मोघं पार्थ स जीवति ||३-१६|| | evaṃ pravartitaṃ cakraṃ nānuvartayatīha yaḥ .\naghāyurindriyārāmo moghaṃ pārtha sa jīvati ||3-16|| | O Parth, those who do not accept their responsibility in the cycle of sacrifice established by the Vedas are sinful. They live only for the delight of their senses; indeed their lives are in vain. | 121 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.17 | यस्त्वात्मरतिरेव स्यादात्मतृप्तश्च मानवः |\nआत्मन्येव च सन्तुष्टस्तस्य कार्यं न विद्यते ||३-१७|| | yastvātmaratireva syādātmatṛptaśca mānavaḥ .\nātmanyeva ca santuṣṭastasya kāryaṃ na vidyate ||3-17|| | But those who rejoice in the self, who are illumined and fully satisfied in the self, for them, there is no duty. | 122 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.18 | नैव तस्य कृतेनार्थो नाकृतेनेह कश्चन |\nन चास्य सर्वभूतेषु कश्चिदर्थव्यपाश्रयः ||३-१८|| | naiva tasya kṛtenārtho nākṛteneha kaścana .\nna cāsya sarvabhūteṣu kaścidarthavyapāśrayaḥ ||3-18|| | Such self-realized souls have nothing to gain or lose either in discharging or renouncing their duties. Nor do they need to depend on other living beings to fulfill their self-interest. | 123 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.19 | तस्मादसक्तः सततं कार्यं कर्म समाचर |\nअसक्तो ह्याचरन्कर्म परमाप्नोति पूरुषः ||३-१९|| | tasmādasaktaḥ satataṃ kāryaṃ karma samācara .\nasakto hyācarankarma paramāpnoti pūruṣaḥ ||3-19|| | Therefore, giving up attachment, perform actions as a matter of duty because by working without being attached to the fruits, one attains the Supreme. | 124 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.20 – 3.21 | कर्मणैव हि संसिद्धिमास्थिता जनकादयः |\nलोकसंग्रहमेवापि सम्पश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि ||३-२०||\nयद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः |\nस यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते ||३-२१|| | karmaṇaiva hi saṃsiddhimāsthitā janakādayaḥ .\nlokasaṃgrahamevāpi sampaśyankartumarhasi ||3-20||\nyadyadācarati śreṣṭhastattadevetaro janaḥ .\nsa yatpramāṇaṃ kurute lokastadanuvartate ||3-21|| | By performing their prescribed duties, King Janak and others attained perfection. You should also perform your duties to set an example for the good of the world. Whatever actions great persons perform, common people follow. Whatever standards they set, all the world pursues. | 125 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.22 | न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन |\nनानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि ||३-२२|| | na me pārthāsti kartavyaṃ triṣu lokeṣu kiñcana .\nnānavāptamavāptavyaṃ varta eva ca karmaṇi ||3-22|| | There is no duty for Me to do in all the three worlds, O Parth, nor do I have anything to gain or attain. Yet, I am engaged in prescribed duties. | 126 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.23 | यदि ह्यहं न वर्तेयं जातु कर्मण्यतन्द्रितः |\nमम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ||३-२३|| | yadi hyahaṃ na varteyaṃ jātu karmaṇyatandritaḥ .\nmama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ ||3-23|| | For if I did not carefully perform the prescribed duties, O Parth, all men would follow My path in all respects. | 127 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.24 | उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम् |\nसङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः ||३-२४|| | utsīdeyurime lokā na kuryāṃ karma cedaham .\nsaṅkarasya ca kartā syāmupahanyāmimāḥ prajāḥ ||3-24|| | If I ceased to perform prescribed actions, all these worlds would perish. I would be responsible for the pandemonium that would prevail, and would thereby destroy the peace of the human race. | 128 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.25 | सक्ताः कर्मण्यविद्वांसो यथा कुर्वन्ति भारत |\nकुर्याद्विद्वांस्तथासक्तश्चिकीर्षुर्लोकसंग्रहम् ||३-२५|| | saktāḥ karmaṇyavidvāṃso yathā kurvanti bhārata .\nkuryādvidvāṃstathāsaktaścikīrṣurlokasaṃgraham ||3-25|| | As ignorant people perform their duties with attachment to the results, O scion of Bharat, so should the wise act without attachment, for the sake of leading people on the right path. | 129 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.26 | न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् |\nजोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन् ||३-२६|| | na buddhibhedaṃ janayedajñānāṃ karmasaṅginām .\njoṣayetsarvakarmāṇi vidvānyuktaḥ samācaran ||3-26|| | The wise should not create discord in the intellects of ignorant people, who are attached to fruitive actions, by inducing them to stop work. Rather, by performing their duties in an enlightened manner, they should inspire the ignorant also to do their prescribed duties. | 130 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.27 | प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः |\nअहङ्कारविमूढात्मा कर्ताहमिति मन्यते ||३-२७|| | prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ .\nahaṅkāravimūḍhātmā kartāhamiti manyate ||3-27|| | All activities are carried out by the three modes of material nature. But in ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer. | 131 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.28 | तत्त्ववित्तु महाबाहो गुणकर्मविभागयोः |\nगुणा गुणेषु वर्तन्त इति मत्वा न सज्जते ||३-२८|| | tattvavittu mahābāho guṇakarmavibhāgayoḥ .\nguṇā guṇeṣu vartanta iti matvā na sajjate ||3-28|| | O mighty-armed Arjun, illumined persons distinguish the soul as distinct from guṇas and karmas. They perceive that it is only the guṇas (in the shape of the senses, mind, and others) that move among the guṇas (in the shape of the objects of perception), and thus they do not get entangled in them. | 132 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.29 | प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु |\nतानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत् ||३-२९|| | prakṛterguṇasammūḍhāḥ sajjante guṇakarmasu .\ntānakṛtsnavido mandānkṛtsnavinna vicālayet ||3-29|| | Those who are deluded by the operation of the guṇas become attached to the results of their actions. But the wise who understand these truths should not unsettle such ignorant people who know very little. | 133 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.30 | मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा |\nनिराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः ||३-३०|| | mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi saṃnyasyādhyātmacetasā .\nnirāśīrnirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigatajvaraḥ ||3-30|| | Performing all works as an offering unto Me, constantly meditate on Me as the Supreme. Become free from desire and selfishness, and with your mental grief departed, fight! | 134 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.31 | ये मे मतमिदं नित्यमनुतिष्ठन्ति मानवाः |\nश्रद्धावन्तोऽनसूयन्तो मुच्यन्ते तेऽपि कर्मभिः ||३-३१|| | ye me matamidaṃ nityamanutiṣṭhanti mānavāḥ .\nśraddhāvanto.anasūyanto mucyante te.api karmabhiḥ ||3-31|| | Those who abide by these teachings of Mine, with profound faith and free from envy, are released from the bondage of karma. | 135 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.32 | ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम् |\nसर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतसः ||३-३२|| | ye tvetadabhyasūyanto nānutiṣṭhanti me matam .\nsarvajñānavimūḍhāṃstānviddhi naṣṭānacetasaḥ ||3-32|| | But those who find faults with My teachings, being bereft of knowledge and devoid of discrimination, they disregard these principles and bring about their own ruin. | 136 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.33 | सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि |\nप्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति ||३-३३|| | sadṛśaṃ ceṣṭate svasyāḥ prakṛterjñānavānapi .\nprakṛtiṃ yānti bhūtāni nigrahaḥ kiṃ kariṣyati ||3-33|| | Even wise people act according to their natures, for all living beings are propelled by their natural tendencies. What will one gain by repression? | 137 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.34 | इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ |\nतयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ ||३-३४|| | indriyasyendriyasyārthe rāgadveṣau vyavasthitau .\ntayorna vaśamāgacchettau hyasya paripanthinau ||3-34|| | The senses naturally experience attachment and aversion to the sense objects, but do not be controlled by them, for they are way-layers and foes. | 138 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.35 | श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् |\nस्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः ||३-३५|| | śreyānsvadharmo viguṇaḥ paradharmātsvanuṣṭhitāt .\nsvadharme nidhanaṃ śreyaḥ paradharmo bhayāvahaḥ ||3-35|| | It is far better to perform one’s natural prescribed duty, though tinged with faults, than to perform another’s prescribed duty, though perfectly. In fact, it is preferable to die in the discharge of one’s duty, than to follow the path of another, which is fraught with danger. | 139 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.36 | अर्जुन उवाच |\nअथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः |\nअनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः ||३-३६|| | arjuna uvāca .\natha kena prayukto.ayaṃ pāpaṃ carati pūruṣaḥ .\nanicchannapi vārṣṇeya balādiva niyojitaḥ ||3-36|| | Arjun asked: Why is a person impelled to commit sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if by force, O descendent of Vrishni (Krishna)? | 140 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.37 | श्रीभगवानुवाच |\nकाम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः |\nमहाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ||३-३७|| | śrībhagavānuvāca .\nkāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajoguṇasamudbhavaḥ .\nmahāśano mahāpāpmā viddhyenamiha vairiṇam ||3-37|| | The Supreme Lord said: It is lust alone, which is born of contact with the mode of passion, and later transformed into anger. Know this as the sinful, all-devouring enemy in the world. | 141 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.38 | धूमेनाव्रियते वह्निर्यथादर्शो मलेन च |\nयथोल्बेनावृतो गर्भस्तथा तेनेदमावृतम् ||३-३८|| | dhūmenāvriyate vahniryathādarśo malena ca .\nyatholbenāvṛto garbhastathā tenedamāvṛtam ||3-38|| | Just as a fire is covered by smoke, a mirror is masked by dust, and an embryo is concealed by the womb, similarly one’s knowledge gets shrouded by desire. | 142 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.39 | आवृतं ज्ञानमेतेन ज्ञानिनो नित्यवैरिणा |\nकामरूपेण कौन्तेय दुष्पूरेणानलेन च ||३-३९|| | āvṛtaṃ jñānametena jñānino nityavairiṇā .\nkāmarūpeṇa kaunteya duṣpūreṇānalena ca ||3-39|| | The knowledge of even the most discerning gets covered by this perpetual enemy in the form of insatiable desire, which is never satisfied and burns like fire, O son of Kunti. | 143 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.40 | इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धिरस्याधिष्ठानमुच्यते |\nएतैर्विमोहयत्येष ज्ञानमावृत्य देहिनम् ||३-४०|| | indriyāṇi mano buddhirasyādhiṣṭhānamucyate .\netairvimohayatyeṣa jñānamāvṛtya dehinam ||3-40|| | The senses, mind, and intellect are said to be breeding grounds of desire. Through them, it clouds one’s knowledge and deludes the embodied soul. | 144 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.41 | तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ नियम्य भरतर्षभ |\nपाप्मानं प्रजहि ह्येनं ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम् ||३-४१|| | tasmāttvamindriyāṇyādau niyamya bharatarṣabha .\npāpmānaṃ prajahi hyenaṃ jñānavijñānanāśanam ||3-41|| | Therefore, O best of the Bharatas, in the very beginning bring the senses under control and slay this enemy called desire, which is the embodiment of sin and destroys knowledge and realization. | 145 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.42 | इन्द्रियाणि पराण्याहुरिन्द्रियेभ्यः परं मनः |\nमनसस्तु परा बुद्धिर्यो बुद्धेः परतस्तु सः ||३-४२|| | indriyāṇi parāṇyāhurindriyebhyaḥ paraṃ manaḥ .\nmanasastu parā buddhiryo buddheḥ paratastu saḥ ||3-42|| | The senses are superior to the gross body, and superior to the senses is the mind. Beyond the mind is the intellect, and even beyond the intellect is the soul. | 146 |
3 | Karm Yog | 3.43 | एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना |\nजहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम् ||३-४३|| | evaṃ buddheḥ paraṃ buddhvā saṃstabhyātmānamātmanā .\njahi śatruṃ mahābāho kāmarūpaṃ durāsadam ||3-43|| | Thus knowing the soul to be superior to the material intellect, O mighty armed Arjun, subdue the lower self (senses, mind, and intellect) by the higher self (strength of the soul), and kill this formidable enemy called lust. | 147 |
4 | Jñāna Karm Sanyās Yog | 4.1 | श्रीभगवानुवाच |\nइमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवानहमव्ययम् |\nविवस्वान्मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत् ||४-१|| | śrībhagavānuvāca .\nimaṃ vivasvate yogaṃ proktavānahamavyayam .\nvivasvānmanave prāha manurikṣvākave.abravīt ||4-1|| | The Supreme Lord Shree Krishna said: I taught this eternal science of Yog to the Sun God, Vivasvan, who passed it on to Manu; and Manu, in turn, instructed it to Ikshvaku. | 148 |
4 | Jñāna Karm Sanyās Yog | 4.2 | एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदुः |\nस कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप ||४-२|| | evaṃ paramparāprāptamimaṃ rājarṣayo viduḥ .\nsa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa ||4-2|| | O subduer of enemies, the saintly kings thus received this science of Yog in a continuous tradition.
