अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
- O Partha, the unwise, who rejoice in the letter of the Vedas, say, "There is nothing else." They are full only of worldly desires and they hanker for heaven. They speak flowery words that offer mirth as the fruit of work. They look upon the Vedas as consisting entirely of varied rites for the attainment of pleasure and power. Those who cling so to pleasure and power are attracted by that speech (offering heavenly rewards) and are unable to develop the resolute will of a concentrated mind.
