चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जनाः सुकृतिनोऽर्जुन | आर्तो जिज्ञासुरर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ
caturvidhā bhajante māṃ janāḥ sukṛtino.arjuna . ārto jijñāsurarthārthī jñānī ca bharatarṣabha
阿周那（Arjuna），婆罗多族之雄啊，有四种行善之人崇拜我：苦难者、求知者、求财者和智者。
O Arjuna, foremost of the Bharata dynasty, four classes of people of virtuous deeds adore Me: the afflicted, the seeker of Knowledge, the seeker of wealth and the man of Knowledge.
此节列举了四类具有美德的奉献者。苦难者是那些遭受疾病、灾难或威胁的人，如在危难中崇拜主的德罗波蒂（Draupadi）和伽金德拉（Gajendra）。求知者是对世界不满、寻求更高真理的人，如迦纳卡（Janaka）和乌达瓦（Uddhava）。求财者是渴望世俗财富、家庭、地位和名声的人，如苏格里瓦（Sugriva）和杜鲁瓦（Dhruva）。智者是已达自性（Atman）觉悟的人，如苏卡戴瓦（Sukadeva）。无论动机如何，对神的奉献最终都能净化心灵。
The distressed is he who is suffering from a chronic and incurable disease? he whose life is in jeopardy on account of earthake? volcanic eruption? thunder? attack by a dacoit or enemy or tiger? etc. When Draupadi and Gajendra were in great distress they worshipped the Lord. These are the instances of Aarta Bhakti.Jijnasu is the enirer. He is dissatisfied with this world. There is a void in his life. He always feels that sensual pleasure is not the highest form of happiness and there is yet pure eternal bliss unmixed with grief and pain? which is to be found within. Janaka and Uddhava were devotees of this type.Seeker of wealth is he who craves for money? wife? children? position? name and fame. Sugriva? Vibhishana? Upamanyu and Dhruva were all devotees of this type.The wise are the men of knowledge who have attained to Selfillumination. Sukadeva was a JnaniBhakta.Kamsa? Sishupala and Ravana thought of the Lord constantly on account of fear and hatred (VairaBhakti). Hence they are also regarded as devotees.Be devoted to God? whatever be your motive. Devotion will purify the motive in due course.
