आत्मसम्भाविताः स्तब्धा धनमानमदान्विताः | यजन्ते नामयज्ञैस्ते दम्भेनाविधिपूर्वकम्
ātmasambhāvitāḥ stabdhā dhanamānamadānvitāḥ . yajante nāmayajñaiste dambhenāvidhipūrvakam
自负、顽固,充满财富的骄傲和狂妄,他们以虚伪和不合规矩的方式,进行徒有其名的祭祀。
Self-conceited, haughty, filled with pride and intoxication of wealth, they perform sacrifices which are so in name only, with ostentation and regardless of the injunctions.
他们因无边的骄傲而自大。他们极度看重自己。正直或虔诚的人并不这样尊敬或看重他们。他们对自己的伟大有非常高的评价。他们认为自己拥有所有美德。他们不谦逊,没有谦卑或温顺。他们的思想完全充满了自我重要感。他们蔑视他人,认为他人不如自己。他们从不向长辈、上级、灵性导师和僧侣低头行礼。他们像柱子或铁桩一样笔直站立,仿佛被财富之酒灌醉。他们假装举行祭祀(Yajnas)。他们不关心祭坛、祭祀凉亭或火炉,也不关心祭祀中应使用的任何适当材料。他们不注意规定的规则。他们举行祭祀是为了增加自己的名声。他们甚至不愿听到神或婆罗门(Brahmana)的名字。神或婆罗门怎会参加他们的祭祀呢?他们举行祭祀时,不注意祭祀的各个部分以及经典规定中的义务,例如念诵曼特拉(Mantras)、崇拜神祇、支付费用等。他们不会怀着敬意和信仰进行祭祀。他们希望所有人都说他们是苏摩祭祀者(Somayajis,举行苏摩祭祀的人)。他们不会获得祭祀的果报。他们心中没有服务的念头。他们举行祭祀是为了欺骗世人,而不是出于真诚和信仰。骄傲(Mana)在于认为自己(因财富或学识等)值得高度尊敬。狂妄(Mada)是由于财富的陶醉,富人蔑视古鲁(Guru)和其他值得尊敬的人。财富和学识使他们冲昏头脑,这就是狂妄。
They are puffed up with unbounded pride. They esteem themselves very highly. They are not esteemed or honoured as such by the righteous or pious persons. They have a very high opinion of their own greatness. They esteem themselves as possessed of all the virtuous attributes. They are not humble. They have no humility or meekness. Their minds are entirely filled with a sense of their own importance. They treat others with contempt. They think that others are inferior to them. They never bend their heads and make prostrations to elders or superiors or spiritual teachers and monks. They stand erect like a pillar or iron post? intoxicated as they are with the wine of wealth. They pretend to perform Yajnas.They do not care for an altar? a sacrifical bower or a receptacle for the fire? or any of the proper materials to be used in the sacrifices. They do not pay any attention to the prescribed rules. They do sacrifices in order to increase their own fame. They will not hear even the mentioning of the name of God or Brahmana. How can God or a Brahmana attend their sacrifices They perform sacrifices without paying attention to the several parts of them and the obligations enjoined in the scriptural ordinances such as the recitation of the Mantras? worship of the gods? giving of the fees? etc. They will not do the sacrifices with reverence and faith. They want that all the people should say that they are Somayajis (performers of the Soma sacrifice). They will not attain the fruits of the sacrifice. There is no idea of service in them. They perform sacrifice to deceive the world? but not out of sincerity and faith.Mana Pride consists in supposing oneself worthy of a high honour (on account of ones wealth or learning? etc.).Mada On account of intoxication of wealth the wealthy man treats the Guru and other persons who are worthy of being honoured? with contempt. Wealth and learning turn their heads. This is Mada.
