कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेताः | यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ||७||
kārpaṇya-doṣhopahata-svabhāvaḥ pṛichchhāmi tvāṁ dharma-sammūḍha-chetāḥ yach chhreyaḥ syān niśhchitaṁ brūhi tan me śhiṣhyas te 'haṁ śhādhi māṁ tvāṁ prapannam
我的本性被怯懦的缺陷所困扰，我的心智因对达摩（dharma）的困惑而迷失。请你明确告诉我，什么对我最好。我是你的门徒，我已臣服于你——请教导我。
My nature is weighed down by weakness and confusion about my duty. Tell me decisively what is best for me. I am your disciple, surrendered to you — please instruct me.
这是阿周那（Arjuna）正式成为门徒的关键诗节。发生了三件事：（1）他承认自己的弱点——“kārpaṇya-doṣhopahata”；（2）他承认困惑——“dharma-sammūḍha”，即对职责或正法的迷茫；（3）他臣服——“śhiṣhyas te'haṁ”（我是你的门徒）。这种臣服引发了《薄伽梵歌》的全部教导。
This is the pivotal verse where Arjuna formally becomes a student. Three things happen: (1) he admits his weakness — "kārpaṇya-doṣhopahata"; (2) he admits confusion — "dharma-sammūḍha"; (3) he surrenders — "śhiṣhyas te'haṁ" (I am your student). This surrender triggers the entire teaching of the Gita.
