यया स्वप्नं भयं शोकं विषादं मदमेव च | न विमुञ्चति दुर्मेधा धृतिः सा पार्थ तामसी
yayā svapnaṃ bhayaṃ śokaṃ viṣādaṃ madameva ca . na vimuñcati durmedhā dhṛtiḥ sā pārtha tāmasī
哦,波陀(Partha),那种使愚昧之人不放弃睡眠、恐惧、悲伤、沮丧和傲慢的坚毅,被称为惰性(tamas)的坚毅。
That firmness is considered [Some editions read partha in place of mata (considered).-Tr.] to be born of tamas due to which a person with a corrupt intellect does not give up sleep, fear, sorrow, despondency as also sensuality.
黑暗的化身之人,由各种可能的邪恶构成。他非常懒惰和有罪。他过度沉迷于睡眠。他认为这些都是适当的。他因自己的邪恶行为而感到悲伤。由于他非常执着于身体,他心存巨大的恐惧。他内心总是感到不满。他好色且自负。他不知道如何行为。他粗鲁无礼。他沉溺于感官享乐。
The man who is an embodiment of darkness is made up of every possible kind of evil. He is very indolent and sinful. He is inordinately addicted to sleep. He considers these to be only proper. He experiences sorrow on account of his evil actions. As he is very much attached to the body he entertains great fear. He is ever discontented at heart. He is lustful and selfconceited. He does not know how to behave. He is rude and insolent. He indulges much in sensual pleasures.
