Sanskrit

यज्ञशिष्टाशिनः सन्तो मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषैः | भुञ्जते ते त्वघं पापा ये पचन्त्यात्मकारणात्

Transliteration

yajñaśiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarvakilbiṣaiḥ . bhuñjate te tvaghaṃ pāpā ye pacantyātmakāraṇāt

English

By becoming partakers of the remembers of sacrifices, they become freed from all sins. But the unholy persons who cook for themselves, they incur sin.

हिन्दी

यज्ञ के अवशिष्ट अन्न को खाने वाले श्रेष्ठ पुरुष सब पापों से मुक्त हो जाते हैं किन्तु जो लोग केवल स्वयं के लिये ही पकाते हैं वे तो पापों को ही खाते हैं।।

Explanation — English

Those who? after performing the five great sacrifices? eat the remnants of the food are freed from all the sins committed by these five agents of insect slaughter? viz.? (1) the pestle and mortar? (2) the grinding stone? (3) the fireplace? (4) the place where the waterpot is kept? and (5) the broom. These are the five places where injury to life is daily committed. The sins are washed away by the performance of the five MahaYajnas or great sacrifices which every Dvija(twicorn or the people belonging to the first three castes in Hindu society? especially the Brahmin) ought to perform1. DevaYajna Offering sacrifices to the gods which will satisfy them?2. BrahmaYajna or RishiYajna Teaching and reciting the scriptures which will satisfy Brahman and the Rishis?3. PitriYajna Offering libations of water to ones ancestors which will satisfy the manes?4. NriYajna The feeding of the hungry and the guests? and?5. BhutaYajna The feeding of the subhuman species? such as animals? birds? etc.

Explanation — हिन्दी

उत्पादन किये बिना समाज के धन पर जीने वाले अपराधी व्यक्तियों स सर्वथा भिन्न लोगों के विषय में इस श्लोक में वर्णन है। श्रेष्ठ पुरुष यज्ञ भावना से कर्म करने के पश्चात् प्राप्त फल में अपने भाग को ही ग्रहण करते हैं और इस प्रकार सब पापों से मुक्त हो जाते हैं।पूर्व काल में किये गये पाप वर्तमान में पीड़ा के कारण हैं तो वर्तमान के पाप भविष्य में दुखों के कारण बनेंगे। अत समाज में दुखों को समाप्त करने का एक मात्र उपाय है समाज के जागरूक पुरुषों का यज्ञभावना से सामूहिक कर्म करके अवशिष्ट फल को ग्रहण कर सन्तुष्ट रहना।इसके विपरीत जो केवल अपने लिये ही पकाते हैं वे पाप को ही खाते हैं। इस श्लोक से प्रतीत होता है कि श्रीकृष्ण वैयक्तिक सम्पत्ति के सर्वथा विरुद्ध हैं परन्तु एक साम्यवादी व्यक्ति के अर्थ में नहीं। समाज के धन को अपना ही समझ कर उसके परिग्रह के सिद्धांत का भगवान् विरोध करते हैं। जो मनुष्य धन के लोभ से केवल अपने भोग के लिए समाज के दरिद्र और अभागे लोगों के कष्ट की ओर ध्यान दिये बिना धन संग्रह करता है उसे ही यहाँ पाप को खाने वाला कहा गया है।निम्नलिखित कारणों से भी मनुष्य को कर्म करने चाहिये क्योंकि कर्म से ही विश्वचक्र चलता है। कैसे इसका उत्तर है

3.1Arjuna said O Janardana (krsna), if it be Your opinion that wisdom is superior to action, why they do you urge me to horrible aciton, O Kesava ?3.2You bewilder my understanding, as it were, by a seemingly conflicting statement! Tell me for certain one of these by which I may attain the highest Good.3.3The Blessed Lord said O unblemished one, two kinds of steadfastness in this world were spoken of by Me in the days of yore-through the Yoga of Knowledge for the men of realization; through the Yoga of Action for the yogis.3.4A person does not attain freedom from action by abstaining from action; nor does he attain fulfilment merely through renunciation.3.5Because, no one ever remains even for a moment without doing work. For all are made to work under compulsion by the gunas born of Nature.3.6One, who after withdrawing the organs of action, sits mentally recollecting the objects of the senses, that one, of deluded mind, is called a hypocrite.3.7But, O Arjuna, one who engages in Karma-yoga with the organs of action, controlling the organs with the mind and becoming unattached-that one excels.3.8You perform the obligatory duties, for action is superior to inaction. And, through inaction, even the maintenance of your body will not be possible.3.9This man becomes bound by actions other than that action meant for God. Without being attached, O son of Kunti, you perform actions for Him.3.10In the days of yore, having created the beings together with the sacrifices, Prajapati said: 'By this you multiply. Let this be your yielder of coveted objects of desire.'
