कर्म ब्रह्मोद्भवं विद्धि ब्रह्माक्षरसमुद्भवम् | तस्मात्सर्वगतं ब्रह्म नित्यं यज्ञे प्रतिष्ठितम्
karma brahmodbhavaṃ viddhi brahmākṣarasamudbhavam . tasmātsarvagataṃ brahma nityaṃ yajñe pratiṣṭhitam
须知行动(Karma)源于《吠陀》(Brahma),而《吠陀》则源于不朽者(Akshara)。因此,这遍及一切的《吠陀》永恒地建立在祭祀(Yajna)之中。
Know that actin has the veda as its origin; the Vedas has the Immutable as its source. Hence, the all-pervading Veda is for ever based on sacrifice.
“梵”(Brahma)在此处可指《吠陀》。正如呼吸源自人身,同样,《吠陀》是不朽者或全知者的呼吸。《吠陀》永远立足于祭祀之中,即它主要论述祭祀及其施行方式。(参见《博伽梵歌》第四章24至32节)。“卡尔玛”(Karma,行动)和“婆罗摩乌德巴瓦姆”(Brahmodbhvam,源于梵)指源自《吠陀》的训示。
Brahma may mean Veda. Just as the breath comes out of a man? so also the Veda is the breath of the Imperishable or the Omniscient. The Veda ever rests in the sacrifice? i.e.? it deals chiefly with sacrifices and the ways of their performance. (Cf.IV.24 to 32).Karma Action? Brahmodbhavam arisen from the injunctions of the Vedas.
