एवं प्रवर्तितं चक्रं नानुवर्तयतीह यः | अघायुरिन्द्रियारामो मोघं पार्थ स जीवति
evaṃ pravartitaṃ cakraṃ nānuvartayatīha yaḥ . aghāyurindriyārāmo moghaṃ pārtha sa jīvati
噢,波陀(Partha)啊,在此世间,若有人不遵循这已启动的循环,其生命充满罪恶,沉溺于感官享乐,那他便是虚度此生。
O Partha, he lives in vain who does not follow here the wheel thus set in motion, whose life is sinful, and who indulges in the senses.
这是由造物主基于《吠陀》和祭祀所启动的行动之轮。若有人不通过研习《吠陀》并履行其中规定的祭祀来遵循此循环,反而只沉溺于感官享乐,那他便是虚度此生。他正在浪费生命,过着毫无价值的生活。不按照此法则生活且自私自利的人,便是犯下罪过。他违反了造物主的法则,这是最严重的罪过。
This is the wheel of action set in motion by the Creator on the basis of the Veda and sacrifice.He who does not follow the wheel by studying the Vedas and performing the sacrifices prescribed therein but who indulges only in sensual pleasures lives in vain. He is wasting his life. He is leading a worthless life indeed.One who does not live in accordance with this law and who is selfish commits sin. He violates the law of the Creator and that is the worst sin.
