यामिमां पुष्पितां वाचं प्रवदन्त्यविपश्चितः | वेदवादरताः पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिनः
yāmimāṃ puṣpitāṃ vācaṃ pravadantyavipaścitaḥ . vedavādaratāḥ pārtha nānyadastīti vādinaḥ
Ô Pārtha, ceux qui manquent de discernement, qui prononcent ces paroles fleuries promettant des renaissances en récompense de rites et de devoirs, et qui sont remplies de divers rites spéciaux destinés à l'obtention de jouissances et d'opulence, ceux-là restent absorbés par les énoncés des Vedas et déclarent que rien d'autre n'existe ; leurs esprits sont remplis de désirs et ils ont le ciel (svarga) pour but.
-2.43 O son of Prtha, those undiscerning people who utter this flowery talk which promises birth as a result of rites and duties, and is full of various special rites meant for the attainment of enjoyment and affluence , they remain engrossed in the utterances of the Vedas and declare that nothing else exists; their minds are full of desires and they have heaven as the goal.
Les personnes insensées, dépourvues de discernement, mettent l'accent sur le Karma Kāṇḍa, la partie rituelle des Vedas, qui énonce des règles spécifiques pour des actions spécifiques en vue d'obtenir des fruits précis, et exaltent indûment ces actions et leurs récompenses. Elles sont séduites par les passages védiques qui promettent des jouissances célestes, affirmant qu'il n'y a rien au-delà des plaisirs sensoriels du svarga, obtenus par les rites du Karma Kāṇḍa. Le Seigneur Krishna considère cette doctrine des Mīmāṃsakas, qui visent le ciel et le pouvoir mondain par les sacrifices védiques, comme inférieure, car elle n'offre pas la libération finale (mokṣa), laquelle est atteinte par la connaissance du Soi.
Unwise people who are lacking in discrimination lay great stress upon the Karma Kanda or the ritualistic portion of the Vedas? which lays down specific rules for specific actions for,the attainment of specific fruits and ectol these actions and rewards unduly. They are highly enamoured of such Vedic passages which prescribe ways for the attainment of heavenly enjoyments. They say that there is nothing else beyond the sensual enjoyments in Svarga (heaven) which can be obtained by performing the rites of the Karma Kanda of the Vedas.There are two main divisions of the Vedas -- Karma Kanda (the section dealing with action) and Jnana Kanda (the section dealing with knowledge). The Karma Kanda comprises the Brahmanas and the Samhitas. This is the authority for the Purvamimamsa school founded by Jaimini. The followers of this school deal with rituals and prescribe many of them for attaining enjoyments and power here and happiness in heaven. They regard this as the ultimate object of human existence. Ordinary people are attracted by their panegyrics. The Jnana Kanda comprises the Aranyakas and the Upanishads which deal with the nature of Brahman or the Supreme Self.Life in heaven is also transitory. After the fruits of the good actions are exhausted? one has to come back to this earthplane. Liberatio or Moksha can only be attained by knowledge of the Self but not by performing a thousand and one sacrifices.Lord Krishna assigns a comparatively inferior position to the doctrine of the Mimamsakas of performing Vedic sacrifices for obtaining heaven? power and lordship in this world as they cannot give us final liberation.
