न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन | नानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि
na me pārthāsti kartavyaṃ triṣu lokeṣu kiñcana . nānavāptamavāptavyaṃ varta eva ca karmaṇi
噢，波陀，在三界之中，我没有任何必须履行的职责；亦无未得之物，亦无待得之物。然我仍恒常行事。
In all the three worlds, O Partha, there is no duty whatsoever for Me (to fulfil); nothing remains unachieved or to be achieved. [According to S. the translation of this portion is: There is nothing unattained that should be attained.-Tr.] (Still) do I continue in action.
作为宇宙之主，我没有任何个人理由去行动。我已拥有所有神圣的财富，宇宙的财富皆属我所有，因此我无所求，亦无须达成任何目标，但我依然投身于行动。为何你们不效仿我的榜样？为何你们不通过自身树立榜样来阻止大众误入歧途？若你树立榜样，人们自会追随你，因为你是一位拥有高尚品质的领袖。
I am the Lord of the universe and therefore I have no personal grounds to engage. Myself in action. I have nothing to achieve as I have all divine wealth? as the wealth of the universe is Mine? and yet I engage Myself in action.Why do you not follow My example Why do you not endeavour to prevent the masses from following the wrong path by setting an example yourself If you set an example? people will follow you as you are a leader with noble alities.
