एवं प्रवर्तितं चक्रं नानुवर्तयतीह यः | अघायुरिन्द्रियारामो मोघं पार्थ स जीवति
evaṃ pravartitaṃ cakraṃ nānuvartayatīha yaḥ . aghāyurindriyārāmo moghaṃ pārtha sa jīvati
おお、パールタよ、このように回転する輪に従わず、罪深い人生を送り、感覚に耽る者は、虚しく生きるのみである。
O Partha, he lives in vain who does not follow here the wheel thus set in motion, whose life is sinful, and who indulges in the senses.
これは創造主がヴェーダとヤジュニャ（供犠）に基づいて動かしたカルマ（行為）の輪です。ヴェーダを学び、そこに定められたヤジュニャを行うことでこの輪に従わず、ただ感覚的な快楽に耽る者は、虚しく生き、人生を無駄にしています。彼は創造主の法を犯し、それが最悪の罪となります。
This is the wheel of action set in motion by the Creator on the basis of the Veda and sacrifice.He who does not follow the wheel by studying the Vedas and performing the sacrifices prescribed therein but who indulges only in sensual pleasures lives in vain. He is wasting his life. He is leading a worthless life indeed.One who does not live in accordance with this law and who is selfish commits sin. He violates the law of the Creator and that is the worst sin.
