वेदेषु यज्ञेषु तपःसु चैव दानेषु यत्पुण्यफलं प्रदिष्टम् | अत्येति तत्सर्वमिदं विदित्वा योगी परं स्थानमुपैति चाद्यम्
vedeṣu yajñeṣu tapaḥsu caiva dāneṣu yatpuṇyaphalaṃ pradiṣṭam . atyeti tatsarvamidaṃ viditvā yogī paraṃ sthānamupaiti cādyam
知晓此理的瑜伽士,超越了吠陀、祭祀、苦行以及布施所宣称的一切善行之果报,他达到原始至高的境界。
Having known this, the yogi transcends all those results of rigtheous deeds that are declared with regard to the Vedas, sacrifices, austerities and also charities, and he reaches the primordial supreme State.
本诗描述了瑜伽(Yoga)的荣耀。无论经典中宣称通过正确研习吠陀、妥善进行祭祀、实践苦行能获得何种功德之果,知晓并遵循克里希那(Krishna)勋主对阿周那(Arjuna)提出的七个问题的回答,并冥想梵(Brahman)的瑜伽士,都超越了所有这些。他达到了梵的至高居所,这居所自太初便已存在,是最初的、古老的。这里的“知晓此理”是指正确理解了勋主在本章开头对阿周那提出的七个问题所作的回答。
The glory of Yoga is described in this verse. Whatever meritorious effect is declared in the scriptures to accrue from the proper study of the Vedas? from the performance of sacrifices properly? from the practice of austerities -- above all these rises the Yogi who rightly understands and follows the teaching imparted by Lord Krishna in His answers to the seven estions put by Arjuna? and who meditates on Brahman. He attains to the Supreme Abode of Brahman Which existed even in the beginning (primeval)? and is the first or ancient.Idam Viditva Having known this. Having known properly the answers given by the Lord to the seven estions put by Arjuna at the beginning of this chapter.(This chapter is known by the name Abhyasa Yoga also.)Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the eighth discourse entitledThe Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman. ,
