तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ | ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि
tasmācchāstraṃ pramāṇaṃ te kāryākāryavyavasthitau . jñātvā śāstravidhānoktaṃ karma kartumihārhasi
因此，在判斷何為應為、何為不應為之事上，聖典是你的權威。知曉聖典所說的法規後，你應當在此世履行你的職責。
Therefore, the scripture is your authority as regards the determination of what is to be done and what is not to be done. After understanding (your) duty as presented by scriptural injunction, you ought to perform (your duty) here.
凡渴望自我福祉的人，不應忽視聖典的教誨。渴望獲得永恆幸福的人，應當尊重吠陀和《法典》（Smritis），它們闡明了正確的行為準則。聖典教導他捨棄的一切，他應當樂意捨棄；聖典指示他接受的一切，他應當接受。如此完全奉獻於吠陀的人，不會遭遇不幸、悲傷或妄想。沒有任何母親比聖典更仁慈，因為它們約束我們不做惡事，並賜予我們最大的善（解脫或莫克沙）。因此，應當極其尊重聖典。捨棄聖典所禁止的一切。凡是值得做的事，你都應當全心全意、全力以赴地去做。至此，《奧義書》中光榮的《薄伽梵歌》，永恆的科學，瑜伽的聖典，克里希納與阿周那的對話，第十六章「神性與魔性之分」的論述結束。
He who desires the welfare of the Self should not disregard the ?nds of the scriptures. A man who is anxious to obtain eternal bliss should respect the Vedas and the Smritis which lay down the code of right conduct. He should readily renounce whatever the scriptures teach him to abandon and accept whatever he is directed to accept.He who is thus entirely devoted to the Vedas cannot meet with misfortune? grief or delusion. No mother is more kind than the scriptures for they restrain us from doing evil and bestow on us the greatest good (liberation or Moksha). Therefore treat the scriptures with great respect. Renounce all that the scriptures prohibit. Whatever is worthy of being done? that thou shouldst do thoroughly with all thy heart and all thy strength.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 sixteenth discourse entitledThe Yoga of the Division BetweenThe Divine and the Demoniacal. ,
