न वेदयज्ञाध्ययनैर्न दानैर्- न च क्रियाभिर्न तपोभिरुग्रैः | एवंरूपः शक्य अहं नृलोके द्रष्टुं त्वदन्येन कुरुप्रवीर
na vedayajñādhyayanairna dānaira- na ca kriyābhirna tapobhirugraiḥ . evaṃrūpaḥ śakya ahaṃ nṛloke draṣṭuṃ tvadanyena kurupravīra
噢，俱卢（Kuru）族中最英勇者，并非通过研习吠陀（Veda）经典和祭祀，并非通过布施，并非通过仪式，也并非通过严酷的苦行，我以这样的形相，在人间世界中，无法被除了你之外的任何人看见。
Not by the study of the Vedas and sacrifices, not by gifts, not even by rituals, not by severe austerities can I, in this form, be perceived in the human world by anyone ['By anyone who has not received My grace'. other than you, O most valiant among the Kurus.
仅仅死记吠陀（Veda）经文而不理解其意义是行不通的。研究祭祀也是必要的，人们也应该了解它们的意义。布施，如“图拉普鲁沙”（Tula Purusha，按人体重施舍黄金）、“卡尼亚达那”（Kanyadana，嫁女）、施牛、施米等。仪式，如“阿耆尼霍特拉”（Agnihotra）。苦行，如“旃陀罗亚那誓愿”（Chandrayana Vrata）。（这是一种誓愿或修行，在月亏半月期间，从满月开始，每天减少一口食物；然后在月盈半月期间，每天增加一口食物。这种誓愿（修行）是净化心灵的绝佳方式，它能消除罪孽。）
Mere cramming of the texts of the Vedas without knowing the meaning will not do. A study of the sacrifices also is necessary. One should know the meaning of these? also.Dana Charity such as a Tula Purusha (gift of gold eal in weight of a man) Kanyadana (gift of ones daughther in marriage)? gift of a cow? rice? etc.Kriya Rituals such as Agnihotra.Tapas Such as the Chandrayana Vrata. (This is a kind of Vrata or observance. The daily consumption of food is reduced by one mouthful every day for the dark half of the month beginning with the fullmoon. Then the food is increased by one mouthful every day during the bright fortnight during the increase of the moon. This Vrata (observance) is a great purifier of the mind. It destroys sins.)
