अशास्त्रविहितं घोरं तप्यन्ते ये तपो जनाः | दम्भाहंकारसंयुक्ताः कामरागबलान्विताः
aśāstravihitaṃ ghoraṃ tapyante ye tapo janāḥ . dambhāhaṃkārasaṃyuktāḥ kāmarāgabalānvitāḥ
جو لوگ دکھاوے اور غرور سے بھرے ہوئے، اور کام (شہوت)، راگ (لگاؤ) اور بل (طاقت) سے سرشار ہو کر ایسی خوفناک تپسیا (ریاضت) کرتے ہیں جو شاستروں میں بیان نہیں کی گئی؛
Those persons who, given to ostentation and pride, and possessed of passion, attachment and strength, undertake severe austerities not sanctioned in the scriptures;
ایسے لوگ جو جسم کو اذیت دینا زندگی کا مقصد سمجھتے ہیں، وہ لوگوں کو متاثر کرنے اور اپنی حسی خواہشات کی تکمیل کے لیے ایسا کرتے ہیں۔ یہ حقیقی تپسیا نہیں بلکہ تامسی تپسیا ہے۔ وہ شاستروں کے احکام سے ناواقف ہوتے ہیں اور اپنی شہوت، لگاؤ اور طاقت کے زور پر غیر مجاز ریاضتیں کرتے ہیں، جس سے خود کو اور دوسروں کو تکلیف پہنچاتے ہیں۔
There are some who think that the mortification of the body is the proper means to attain the goal of life. They do this in order to attract the people and get money for the gratification of their senses. They stand on one leg with raised hands. This is not real Tapas. This is Tamasic Tapas. Bodily torture will not bring emancipation. These men are not acainted with even the first elements of the scriptures. They mock at the religious practices of the wise? elderly persons and jeer at learned men. They are puffed up with the vanity of their own greatness. They are proud of their wealth. They perform unauthorised austerities. These persons do severe austerities contrary to the scriptures on the strength of desire and attachment.They take even the lives of children to propitiate their deity. Instead of killing their egoism? they kill many innocent animals in the name of sacrifice but in reality they kill them to satisfy their own palate. Most horrible indeed They speak ill of the scriptures and wander about in the forest of delusion and infatuation. They follow the dictates of passion. They inflict pain on themselves and on others. They practise austerities which cause pain to themselves and to other living beings. Pitiable indeed is their lot. They are doomed to destruction.Kamaragabalanvitah may also be interpreted as possessed of lust? attachment and power.Dambha Ostentation The man of Dambha is desirous that all people should take him for a virtuous man and so he expresses to others his righteous nature. In reality he is not virtuous. He pretends to be what he is not.Ahankara Egoism The egoistic man thinks and feels that he is superior to others in the possession of all virtuous alities.Raga Extreme attachment to sensual objects.Bala Great power of enduring severe pain on account of Raga for sensual objects (pain that accrues from exertion in attaining and preserving the objects).Kama Lust Desire for any object.
