kāmātmānaḥ svargaparā janmakarmaphalapradām . kriyāviśeṣabahulāṃ bhogaiśvaryagatiṃ prati
(彼らは)欲望に満ちた心を持ち、天界を最高の目標とし、行為と義務の結果として(新たな)生をもたらし、享楽と富の獲得を目的とした様々な特別な儀式に満ちた(華やかな言葉を語る)。
-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.
この節は、欲望に囚われ、天界での享楽を唯一の目的とする人々が、ヴェーダの儀式的な教えに固執し、その結果として新たな生と物質的な富を追求する様子を描写しています。彼らは真の智慧を見失い、行為の果報に縛られています。
. - 2.43. O son of Prtha ! Those, whose very nature is desire, whose goal is heaven, who esteem only the Vedic declaration [of fruits], who declare that there is nothing else, who proclaim this flowery speech about the paths to the lordship of the objects of enjoyment-[the paths] that are full of different actionsand who desire action alone as a fruit of their birth-they are men without insight.
